⚡Load-shedding update 28 June 2022 Regrettably, City customers will move from Stage 4 to 5 now until 19:00.
This is due to a trip at the gas turbines that is used alongside the Steenbras Hydro Pumped Storage Scheme to meet the peak demand.
From 19:00, City customers will move down to Stage
4 again.
Updates to follow.
Stage 5: now until 19:00
Stage 4: from 19:00 until 00:00
Stage 2: from 00:00 until 05:00 tomorrow, 29 June Eskom announced Stage 6 load-shedding from 16:00 until 22:00; then Stage 4 until 00:00, switching to Stage 2 until 05:00 tomorrow morning.
The City has been building reserves as a contingency measure, but customers are asked to reduce usage to ensure we have reserves to continue the protection.
Note
Eskom's load-shedding typically causes power faults due to nuisance tripping.
Switch off appliances prior to load-shedding.
