POWER utility Eskom expects to implement Stage 6 load shedding until the peak electricity demand hours on Wednesday evening, its chief executive Andre de Ruyter said.
“By Thursday, (we expect) we will then be able to start phasing that down to load shedding Stage 4 with load shedding Stage 3 being reached by the weekend,” De Ruyter told a media briefing, referring to rolling power cuts.
Eskom on Sunday said it would implement Stage 6 power cuts until further notice.
Stage 6 power cuts require up to 6,000 megawatts to be shed from the national grid and mean 10 hours a day without power for many South African households.
