Stage 4 load-shedding returns as more generation units trip

Eskom announced on Tuesday afternoon that load-shedding has been returned to stage 4 following the breakdown of two generation units.

On Sunday, Eskom had indicated  stage 3 load-shedding would continue until 5am on Thursday as more generation units were anticipated to return to service.

“A generation unit each at Kendal and Lethabo power stations have just tripped. This necessitates the immediate escalation of load-shedding to stage 4 at 6pm. This stage of load-shedding will be maintained until further notice,” Eskom said.
