Slightly lower stages of load-shedding are set to be implemented up until Wednesday.

Eskom has announced the load-shedding schedule for the next few days, with stage 2 that will be implemented from 16:00 today until 05:00.

Thereafter, load-shedding will be suspended between 05:00 and 16:00 tomorrow.

Here is a detailed load-shedding schedule for the next few days:

According to Eskom, load-shedding might be suspended for a few hours during low demand periods overnight.

“Breakdowns have reduced to 15 846MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of
service for planned maintenance is 2 239MW,” Eskom said in a media statement this afternoon.

According to the power utility, over the past 24 hours, a generating unit each at Kendal, Kriel, Matla and two generating units at Lethabo power stations were returned to service.

“Cahora Bassa was returned to service during the same period after a failure on Friday afternoon. In the same period, a generation unit each at Arnot, Camden and Medupi power stations were taken out of service due to breakdowns.

“The further delays in returning to service a generating unit at Grootvlei, Hendrina, Majuba and Tutuka power stations are contributing to the current capacity constraints. Eskom teams are working around the clock to return these generating units to service over the next few days.”
