Energy experts discuss the recent return to Stage 6 loadshedding in South Africa, highlighting the technical issues behind Eskom's power supply challenges

Eskom has reduced load shedding from stage four to stage two, following the successful restoration of several power generation units. According to the power utility, this improvement comes after all five units at Majuba, two units at Camden, and one unit at Medupi were brought back online.

The country was hit with stage 6 on Sunday morning following the failure of multiple units at some of Eskom's power stations.

Cape Town - Eskom’s recent announcement of stage 6 load shedding has raised alarm among political and economic analysts who view it as a significant setback for the country’s economy, while the City of Cape Town said it could not guarantee protection of up to two stages of load shedding for its customers if Sunday’s trend persists.

Eskom has ramped up load shedding to stage 6 until further notice due to multiple unit trips at the Camden Power Station in Mpumalanga. The parastatal’s spokesperson, Daphne Mokwena, made the announcement in the early hours of Sunday morning, Mokwena said stage 6 load shedding was implemented at 1:30 a.m. and will continue until further notice.

While addressing the media in Pretoria on Sunday, Eskom CEO Dan Marokane stated that recovery plans were well underway, with numerous units already back on the grid.

Move comes just as SA hosts the ‘B20’ event in Cape Town, one of the key run-up forums to the main G20 Summit in Sandton later this year.

Eskom remains dedicated to ensuring a reliable power supply for all South Africans and continuing its efforts to drive South Africa’s energy recovery. The post Eskom Suspends Load Shedding, Focuses On Eliminating It appeared first on TechFinancials - Reliable Tech News.
