Stage 4 load shedding will be implemented from 16:00 today until 05:00 on Monday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eskom said that following this, Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 05:00 until 16:00, followed by Stage 4 load shedding until 05:00 on Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The power utility said this pattern would be repeated daily until further notice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Eskom will publish another update should any significant changes occur,” the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This update follows one earlier today where the utility suspended load shedding at 01:35 am as pumped storage dam levels were adequately replenished for the week ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eskom added that diesel levels at the OCGT power stations have improved but remain low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shifts between Stages 2 and 4 are likely to be welcomed by South Africans who have recently faced periods of Stage 6 as winter electricity demand skyrocketed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although a handful of analysts suspect otherwise, Eskom, according to the Sunday Times, is confident that the high levels of load shedding experienced last week will not stick around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eskom said that it anticipates the energy demand to decline soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith temperatures starting to increase as per the weather forecast, we expect demand to start reducing,\u201d said Eskom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
