POWER ALERT

Due to lower than anticipated demand, Stage 4 loadshedding will continue to be implemented
until 22:00. Loadshedding will then be reduced to Stage 2 at 22:00 until 07:00 for both Saturday
and Sunday.

Friday, 01 July 2022: Due to lower than anticipated demand, loadshedding will continue to be
implemented at Stage 4 until 22:00 tonight, (previously Stage 6). Loadshedding will then be lowered to
Stage 2 until 07:00 on Saturday morning.

Stage 4 loadshedding will then be implemented at 07:00 – 22:00 on both Saturday and Sunday. During
22:00 - 07:00 on both Saturday and Sunday loadshedding will be at Stage 2.

Eskom cautions that this small reprieve is due to lower than anticipated demand during the weekend
and continues to evaluate the situation and closely monitor the system. We will communicate and
implement any changes as may be necessary.

We currently have 3 104MW on planned maintenance, while another 17 431MW of capacity is

unavailable due to breakdowns.

Eskom thanks all workers who have reported for duty and who continue to perform diligently under
extremely challenging conditions.

Eskom would like to remind the public that loadshedding is implemented only as a last resort to protect
the national grid. We therefore urge all South Africans to continue using electricity sparingly especially
during these uncertain times on the power system.
