In a tweet, Eskom said: “At 08:34 Stage 6 loadshedding was implemented. This was necessary due to the failure of 8 generating units overnight and the excessive reliance on OCGTs and pumped storage generation that is rapidly depleting these reserves.”
Eskom promised to give a full update in due course.
Meanwhile, the City of Cape Town has updated it’s schedule until Monday morning.
