Load shedding not on the cards for today

According to Eskom’s website (https://loadshedding.eskom.co.za/) no load shedding will be implemented today.

This however, could change at a moment’s notice as the electricity reserve margins remain low.

The company had to implement stage two load shedding yesterday (Monday) after two generators broke down.

Eskom’s Andrew Etzinger said today that the company is trying to bring these generators back online as fast as possible.

Eskom has warned that due to extensive maintenance work taking place any technical issues that arises will result in more load shedding.

The company has urged South Africans to be prepared for possible power cuts as the power system remains tight.
