The utility terminated load shedding at 10:14pm on Tuesday.  

This is the fourth day of load shedding, as a number of generating units are out of service due to breakdowns.

Eskom has reminded the public to treat all electrical points as live during load shedding.

“We continue to appeal to residents and businesses to use electricity sparingly during this period. Please switch off geysers as well as all non-essential lighting and electricity appliances to assist in reducing demand,” said Eskom.

Stage three load shedding calls for 3 000MW to be rotationally load shed nationally at a given period.

Load shedding is conducted rotationally as a last resort to protect the power system from total collapse or blackout.
