POWER ALERT 1

Stage 4 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 this afternoon until 05:00 tomorrow
morning, thereafter Stage 3 loadshedding will be implemented until Sunday morning.

Thursday, 05 January 2023: Due to the delays in returning seven generating units to service, Stage 4
loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 this afternoon until 05:00 tomorrow morning. The reafter
Stage 3 loadshedding will be implemented until 16:00 on Friday. This pattern will be repeated until
Sunday morning. Eskom will publish a further update as soon as there are any significant changes.
The further delays in returning to service a generating unit each at Arnot, Camden, Kendal, Kriel, Matla
and two units at Majuba power station has contributed to the capacity constraints.
We currently have 6 014MW on planned maintenance, while another 17 278MW of capacity is
unavailable due to breakdowns and delays in returning generators to service.
Eskom requests the public to reduce the usage of electricity and to exercise patience and tolerance
during this difficult period.
Loadshedding is implemented only as a last resort in view of the shortage of generation capacity and
the need to attend to breakdowns.
ENDS
