Eskom has again implemented stage 6 power cuts due to more generating units failing and depleted reserves.
The ailing power utility moved to stage 6 on Friday morning after earlier in the week saying that the rolling blackouts would be reduced to stage 4.
“At 08:34 Stage 6 load-shedding 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 said on Twitter.
The utility said that it would give a full update in due course.
