Load-shedding escalated to Stage 4 on Monday

Load-shedding will be escalated to Stage 4 on Monday afternoon, Eskom announced. This is owing to a unit at Kusile power station tripping earlier on Monday, taking 720MW of generating capacity with it, Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said.  “While this unit has since returned to service, it will slowly load up to full capacity during the night.”
