Eskom implemented stage 2 load-shedding at 16:00 today.

The power utility says that despite ‘significant progress in our generation recovery efforts, higher-than-expected electricity demand, the loss of generation units, and extensive planned maintenance have placed strain on the system’.

“As a result, stage 2 load-shedding [was] implemented from 16:00 today and will remain in effect until 05:00 tomorrow.

“Given these ongoing constraints, we urge the public to use electricity sparingly to help reduce pressure on the grid.

“Eskom sincerely apologises for the inconvenience and will continue to provide updates as necessary.”
