Stage 2 load shedding from 9am today until 6am on Saturday
Embattled power utility Eskom has announced that Stage 2 rotational load shedding will be implemented from 9 am on Thursday until 6 am on Saturday, with a high probability that load shedding will continue over the weekend.
In a statement on Thursday morning, it said that Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented due to the loss of three additional units overnight that has increased the shortage in capacity.
“There is a high probability that load shedding will continue over the weekend, as there is a need to replenish reserves for the coming week.”
Unplanned outages or breakdowns were at 11 938 MW at 5:30 am on Thursday, while planned maintenance was at 4 654MW. Emergency reserves were at adequate levels and were used to supplement the shortage in capacity, said Eskom.
