Due to breakdowns of eight generation units on Sunday, Eskom announced stage 6 load-shedding will be implemented continuously until further notice.
Eskom leadership maintained that the power utility did not anticipate the current spate of load-shedding going beyond stage 6 and that the entity had contingency plans if load-shedding got as severe as stage 8.
Due to breakdowns of eight generation units on Sunday, Eskom announced stage 6 load-shedding will be implemented continuously until further notice.
The power utility says breakdowns currently amount to 15,827MW of generating capacity, while 5,009MW is out of service for planned maintenance.
