This is due to system constraints and depleted emergency resources.
Read below a statement from Eskom:
- Stage One
“In this stage areas to be affected are divided into two equal load sizes to accommodate Eskom load reduction needs,” Gadebe said.
“If the metro schedule has eight areas in a block to be affected , only four of the eight areas may be affected on day one and the other remaining four areas will be affected on day two.”
- Stage Two
When stage two is declared, the metro’s schedules are implemented in full.
If there are eight areas in a block, all eight areas will be affected.
- Stage Three
When Eskom’s grid in under severe pressure stage three is implemented.
“Stage three is completely out of the metro’s control and is implemented by Eskom to protect the national grid from collapsing and to avoid a blackout.
