Eskom announce stage 4 load shedding

On Tuesday morning after more generation units failed., Eskom has announced that load shedding has immediately moved to Stage 4

The power utility said the jump from Stage 2 happened at 7:20 after Majuba Unit 5 and Tutuka Unit 4 tripped.

CEO Andre de Ruyter is also scheduled to brief the media at 10:00 on the state of the grid.

Eskom initially started with overnight Stage 2 load shedding early last week, before more unit failures at various power stations led to full-time shedding until Friday morning. There was a slight reprieve until Sunday, when Stage 2 was needed again.

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.
