Warning: possible load shedding this weekend
Be prepared as the load-shedding monster is hungry again.
A full nine days without load shedding from Eskom got residents hopeful for a ‘load-shedding free’ July.
Of course that was too good to be true as on 9 July, the power utility announced the end of our wishful thinking, allegedly because a number of their generating units being unavailable as a result of technical problems.
Krugersdorp residents are urged to prepare for a weekend of possible load shedding.
Luckily the load shedding is scheduled for 6am to 10.30am.
• Saturday 11 July: Stage 2 and 3
• Sunday 12 July: Stage 2 and 3
• Monday 13 July: Stage 1, 2 and 3
“Friday, 10 July 2015: Eskom will implement Stage 1 load shedding from 08:30 today, which is likely to continue until 22:00 this evening. This is due to increased electricity demand and a shortage of generation capacity resulting from technical faults at some of our power station units,” reads the alert on the Eskom website.
