ESKOM has strongly rejected false claims circulating online about imminent stage 4 and stage 6 loadshedding from July 6 until July 20 with the power utility saying the country’s power system remains stable with loadshedding suspended since 10pm May 15.

- SIYABONGA SITHOLE

“The Winter Outlook, published on May 5, covering the period ending August 31, remains valid. It indicates that loadshedding will not be necessary if unplanned outages stay below 13000MW.

“If outages rise to 15000MW, loadshedding would be limited to a maximum of 21 days out of 153 days and restricted to Stage 2.

“There are no planned outages of this scale. Misinformation causes unnecessary alarm. Stay informed - trust only official Eskom updates on our official platforms,” the power utility said.
