Eskom announces Stage 6 load shedding — from this afternoon

Eskom has just announced that Stage 6 load shedding will be implemented from 4pm until 10pm this evening (Tuesday, 28 June 2022).

 

 

This comes after an emergency meeting on Tuesday morning, where Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter, warned of possible Stage 6 load shedding.

The Power utility says this is due to the ongoing strike at Eskom, which has caused widespread disruption to Eskom’s power plants.

Per the statement:

Eskom regrets to inform the public that Stage 6 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 until 22:00 this evening.

Stage 4 loadshedding will then be implemented at 22:00 – 00:00. Loadshedding will then be reduced to Stage 2 until 05:00 on Wednesday morning. From 05:00 until 16:00 on Wednesday loadshedding will be implemented at Stage 4. Loadshedding 6 will then again be implemented at 16:00 – 22:00 tomorrow evening.

This is due to the unlawful and unprotected labour action, which has caused widespread disruption to Eskom’s power plants.

The country is currently under Stage 4 load shedding. 

Here’s what different stages of load shedding mean:

  • Stage 1 load shedding means that up to 1000MW of capacity needs to be shed. Consumers can expect to be shed up to 3 times over a four-day period for two hours at a time, or 3 times over an eight-day period for four hours at a time.
  • Stage 2 load shedding means that up to 2000MW of capacity needs to be shed. Consumers can expect to be shed up to 6 times over a four-day period for two hours at a time, or 6 times over an eight-day period for four hours at a time.
  • Stage 3 load shedding means that up to 3000MW of capacity needs to be shed. Consumers can expect to be shed up to 9 times over a four-day period for two hours at a time, or 9 times over an eight-day period for four hours at a time.
  • Stage 4 load shedding means that up to 4000MW of capacity needs to be shed. Consumers can expect to be shed up to 12 times over a four-day period for two hours at a time, or 12 times over an eight-day period for four hours at a time.
  • Stage 5 load shedding means that up to 5000MW of capacity needs to be shed. Consumers can expect to be shed up to 12 times over a four-day period: • 9 times for 2 hours • 3 times for 4 hours
  • Stage 6 load shedding means that up to 6000MW of capacity needs to be shed. Consumers can expect to be shed up to 12 times over a four-day period: • 6 times for 2 hours • 6 times for 4 hours
  • Stage 7 load shedding means that up to 7000MW of capacity needs to be shed. Consumers can expect to be shed up to 12 times over a four-day period: • 3 times for 2 hours • 9 times for 4 hours
  • Stage 8 load shedding means that up to 8000MW of capacity needs to be shed. Consumers can expect to be shed up to 12 times over a four-day period for four hours at a time.
