Power cuts to continue overnight and on Monday
Eskom announced on Sunday evening that stage 2 rotational power cuts would continue overnight and all day on Monday. The struggling power utility said it expected load shedding to stop at 23:00 on Monday.
There is a high likelihood that power rationing will be implemented for the rest of the week.
Stage 2 allows for up to 2 000MW – just under 5% of Eskom’s nominal capacity – to be cut from the national grid.
