Eskom’s constrained electricity system is almost on its knees. The utility is now implementing Stage 6 blackouts.
It says this is due to the tripping of generating units at Kusile and Kriel power stations. Stage 6 was implemented at 4am on Sunday.
The escalation means the utility is removing 2,000 megawatts of demand from the grid but Eskom will continue to operate on a thin margin.
The utility is appealing to the public, to help conserve electricity. Eskom is set to hold a media briefing on Sunday at 10am, to update the public on the way forward.
Following the tripping of a generation unit each at Kusile and Kriel power stations, Stage 6 loadshedding was implemented effective 04:16. Eskom appeals to the public to help conserve electricity.
