Load-shedding is back this afternoon
Unplanned outages and the delayed return to service of Koeberg Unit 1 mean that the lights will go off for some at 16:00 today.
Stage 1 load-shedding will be implemented from 16:00 today until 05:00 on Monday. Thereafter, load-shedding will vary between stages 1, 2 and 3 for the remainder of the week.
Eskom made this announcement just after 13:00 today, saying load-shedding has been brought back earlier than expected due to a shortage in generating capacity.
Load-shedding will be as follows:
- Today: 16:00 – 24:00, stage 1
- Monday: 00:00 – 05:00, stage 1
- Monday: 05:00 – 16:00, stage 2
- Monday: 16:00 – 24:00, stage 3
- Tuesday: 00:00 – 05:00, stage 3
- Tuesday: 05:00 – 16:00, stage 1
- Tuesday: 16:00 – 24:00, stage 3
Tuesday’s pattern will be repeated until Eskom notifies users of any changes.
