Eskom said on Tuesday it will implement stage two load shedding from 6am, and this is likely to continue until 10pm.
This follows two days of load shedding.
Eskom said in a statement on Monday evening that it had stopped stage two load shedding and load curtailment at 10.13pm. “It is important to note that restoration of power takes longer in some areas.”
On Tuesday, Eskom said the electricity supply system remains very vulnerable due to a shortage of generation capacity as several units are currently out of service due to planned and unplanned outages.
Eskom said it would like to assure customers that load shedding is implemented as a necessary measure to protect the power system.
“Any additional changes on the already vulnerable and constrained power system could lead to a change in the stage of load shedding at short notice. We will communicate if there is a need to change stages.” — Fin24
- Update: Eskom announced late on Tuesday that it is being forced to escalate load shedding to stage three from 6pm to 10pm.
