Stage 2 load-shedding for Thursday
According to Eskom, stage 2 rotational load-shedding will be implemented from 09:00 this morning until 23:00 this evening.
This is a result of shortage of capacity, with a number of generating units still out of service due to breakdowns.
The improvement, however, is largely as a result of several units being returned to service.
“Breakdowns are at 12 900MW as at 08:30 this morning,” Eskom mentioned in a press release this morning.
“We continue to use diesel for our open-cycle gas turbines and water at pumped storage schemes to supplement capacity.
Eskom warns that any unexpected shift such as an increase in unplanned breakdowns could result in a change in the load-shedding stage at short notice.
Here is the stage 2 load-shedding schedule for today:
07:00 – 09:30
