Eskom has announced that load-shedding was reduced to stage 2. Stage 2 power cuts will remain in effect until further notice.

Eskom has reduced load shedding from stage four to stage two, following the successful restoration of several power generation units. According to the power utility, this improvement comes after all five units at Majuba, two units at Camden, and one unit at Medupi were brought back online.

Eskom has ramped up load shedding to stage 6 until further notice due to multiple unit trips at the Camden Power Station in Mpumalanga. The parastatal’s spokesperson, Daphne Mokwena, made the announcement in the early hours of Sunday morning, Mokwena said stage 6 load shedding was implemented at 1:30 a.m. and will continue until further notice.

While addressing the media in Pretoria on Sunday, Eskom CEO Dan Marokane stated that recovery plans were well underway, with numerous units already back on the grid.

The electricity utility lost 10 generating units at the weekend but has said it is making good progress in restoring them to service.
