Eskom ramps up load shedding – here’s the schedule
Power utility Eskom says that it pushed load shedding to stage 4 on Thursday (7 December), escalating outages at short notice.
Stage 4 load shedding was put into effect from 16h00 on Thursday, which the group said would continue until 05h00 on Friday.
Stage 3 load shedding will kick in thereafter and continue until 16h00.
Eskom is expected to outline the weekend load shedding schedule later in the day.
Thursday, 7 December
- Stage 4: 16h00 to 00h00
Friday, 8 December
- Stage 4: 00h00 to 05h00
- Stage 3: 05h00 to 16h00
- Stage TBD: 16h00 onward
Given the sudden changes made to load shedding schedules over the past few weeks, South Africans should expect more changes as they happen.
