City Power has been reconfiguring its network to separate residents connected to essential service networks and move them to a different one.
Eskom said it would again implement stage six load shedding on Tuesday night, following a breakdown of six electricity generating units over the last 24 hours.
“Stage five load-shedding will be implemented from 12pm this afternoon until 9pm tonight. Thereafter stage six load-shedding will be implemented until 5am tomorrow morning. Stage five will then be implemented continuously from 5am on Wednesday until further notice,” the utility said in a statement on its Twitter account.
“In the last 24 hours, six generating units have suffered breakdowns, of which a unit each at Duvha and Hendrina have not yet returned to service.”
Eskom has, in the past couple of days, been implementing stage four load-shedding.
