Eskom will continue implementing stage 4 loadshedding between 4pm until 5am daily while stage 3 will be implemented from 5am until 4pm, the power utility announced on Sunday.

Eskom began implementing stage 4 loadshedding on Wednesday afternoon after delays in returning some generating units to service. It said it would revisit the situation.

On Sunday it said the schedule would continue.

“Breakdowns amount to 17,035MW while planned maintenance is 6,189MW. Another update will be published as soon as it is necessary,” Eskom said.
