Eskom has announced that load shedding will be reduced to stage 3 from 21:00 on Thursday.
In a statement, the ailing power utility said that the
emergency generation reserves have sufficiently improved to permit a reduction
in the stage of loadshedding.
‘’Eskom appeals to all South Africans to continue helping
us limit the impact of loadshedding by reducing the usage of electricity and to
switch off all non-essential items,’’ said Eskom’s spokesperson, sikonathi
Mantshasha.
A generation unit each at Matla, Medupi, Kusile and Camden
power stations have returned to service while a unit each at Matla, Lethabo and
Arnot power stations were taken offline for repairs during the same period. It
added that two other units are expected to return to service on Thursday
Eskom says Stage 3 will last from 21:00, until 5a.m on
Friday morning, and will thereafter be lowered to Stage 2 until 5a.m on Monday
morning
‘’Eskom would like to apologise for the implementation of
loadshedding, and will continuously review the situation and act appropriately
as circumstances change,’’ added Mantshasha.
