How to prepare for Eskom’s loadshedding
According to Eskom, the probability of loadshedding during the day is low as power station units are being returned to the power system. However, the chance increases during the evening which is at the peak hours between 17:00 pm and 21:00 pm
The power house said that should rotational loadshedding be implemented today, it will be for a period of up to four hours.
“Eskom will advise if rotational loadshedding will be conducted in either stage 1, stage 2, stage 3 or stage 4, dependent on the capacity shortage”, said Eskom.
Notably, stage one requires that 1000MW be rotationally loadshed nation-wide, stage 2 requires 2000W, stage 3 requires 3000 MW and stage 4 calls for up to 4000 MW to be roatationally loadshed.
The power utility said that loadshedding is a measure of last resort to protect the power system from a total collapse or blackout.
