Stage one load shedding to be implemented from 10am

Eskom has confirmed that stage one load shedding will be implemented from 10am this morning (Tuesday).

Load shedding has become a norm with communities being plunged into darkness on a number of occasions this year.

The latest bout of load shedding comes after a technical fault at the Koeberg Power Station, which led to unit one being taken offline.

Eskom’s Khulu Phasiwe said this morning, “The power system is severely constrained again.

“As a result, we’re implementing stage one of load shedding.

“In the interim, we’re asking our customers to do whatever they can to reduce their load.

“All non-essential appliances and geysers must be switched off.”
