Electricity Minister and Eskom to provide power update  

The Minister of Electricity and Energy, Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa and Eskom will provide an update on the status of South Africa’s electricity generation performance at a briefing this morning.

Sunday’s briefing follows an announcement by Eskom that it has implemented Stage 6 load shedding.

“Eskom regrets to announce that Stage 6 load shedding was implemented at 1:30am due to multiple unit trips at Camden Power Station and will continue until further notice.

“This measure followed the implementation of Stage 3, necessitated by multiple unit trips at Majuba Power Station and a unit trip at Medupi that resulted in a loss of 3 864 MW in generation capacity, while planned maintenance accounted for 7 506 MW,” the power utility said in social media post.

In Sunday’s social media post on X, Eskom said Stage 6 load shedding was necessary to “replenish emergency reserves and prepare for the week ahead.”

On Saturday, the power utility implemented Stage 3 load shedding. 

“Following over 20 days of uninterrupted electricity supply, Eskom has encountered another temporary setback. As a result, Stage 3 load shedding will be implemented from today at 17:30 until further notice,” it said at the time.

The briefing in Pretoria is expected to start at 11 am. –SAnews.gov.za
