Eskom regrets to announce that *Stage 6* loadshedding 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. Additionally to replenish emergency reserves and prepare for the week ahead, Stage 6 loadshedding was essential.
A media briefing will be held today at 11:00 to provide more details and updates on the power system.
