Eskom is easing load shedding, one stage at a time, as the weekend approaches.
Power utility Eskom says that load shedding will be reduced to stage 4 from 14h00 on Friday due to lower demand and pumped storage dam levels returning to normal.
The higher stages of load shedding hit this week due to colder weather pushing up demand, further breakdowns in generation, delays in returning units back to the grid, and Eskom upping its planned maintenance.
