Eskom has announced that it will implement stage 3 load-shedding on Friday 4 September 2020, with load-shedding set to continue over the coming weekend.<\/p>\n

Load-shedding will begin at 08:00 and will end at 22:00.<\/p>\n

This follows stage 4 load-shedding being implemented on Thursday 3 September.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to the reduced demand and the much-improved weather, Eskom will reduce load-shedding to stage 3 starting at 08:00 until 22:00 tomorrow,\u201d Eskom said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to replenish the emergency generation reserves, load-shedding will then continue into the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe system remains unreliable and vulnerable, and Eskom will continue to communicate the stage of load-shedding should there be any further developments,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

The power utility\u2019s repair teams have returned a generation unit each at Tutuka, Matla, Majuba, and the Camden power stations to service.<\/p>\n

However, two other generation units suffered breakdowns during the period, Eskom said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnplanned breakdowns amount to 11,185MW of capacity, adding to the 5,040MW currently out on planned maintenance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eskom urged South Africans to reduce electricity usage to help the power utility reduce the possibility of load-shedding.<\/p>\n
