Eskom pushes load shedding to stage 4 – here is the schedule
Eskom has announced that stage 4 load shedding will be implemented on Tuesday (19 April), due to further breakdowns.
In a statement sent to BusinessTech, the power utility said that stage 4 load shedding would be implemented from 07h20 after Majuba Unit 5 and Tutuka Unit 4 tripped. Eskom did not give an indication as to how long the extended outages will last. A statement will be published at a later date.
Eskom had previously announced that stage 2 load shedding will be implemented until 05h00 on Wednesday (20 April).
Regretfully, Eskom has just been forced to implement Stage 4 loadshedding at 07:20 following Majuba Unit 5 and Tutuka Unit 4 tripping. A full statement will be published in due course.
