Power cuts are expected until Friday while the utility relies on emergency reserves.

“This being the fourth day of extremely high diesel usage, the emergency reserves are being depleted faster than can be replenished. Eskom said that although it had restored four units to service, there was still a need to “ramp up to full output”, which required reliance on emergency generation reserves. Eskom “regrettably” announced early on Wednesday that it would move to stage four load-shedding from 9am, which is set to continue until 5am on Friday — the result of additional generation units failing.

Load shedding escalated to stage 4 (TechCentral)

It's bad news to start this Wednesday: Eskom will escalate load shedding to stage 4 at 9am, suggesting a significant deterioration in its generating fleet.

This being the fourth day of extremely high diesel usage, the emergency reserves are being depleted faster than they can be replenished,” Eskom said. However, these units still need to ramp up to full output, which necessitates a high usage of emergency generation reserves today. The load shedding at stage 4 will last until at least 5am on Friday. Eskom said it needs to do this to manage emergency reserves.
