GARDEN ROUTE | KAROO NEWS - Eskom is expected to implement various stages of Stage 5 and 6 load-shedding until further notice.
Stage 5 load-shedding will be implemented between 05:00 and 16:00 every day with Stage 6 following between 16:00 and 05:00 every morning.
“Over the past 24 hours, a generation unit each at Camden, Koeberg and Medupi power stations were returned to service.
Eskom has urged South Africans to use electricity sparingly during this period. “We thank those South Africans who do heed the call to use electricity sparingly and efficiently in helping to alleviate the pressure on the power system, as this is assisting in avoiding higher stages of load-shedding,” the power utility said.
