Stage 2 loadshedding to be implemented this afternoon
Eskom appeals to the public to reduce the usage of electricity.
Eskom has announced that it will implement stage 2 loadshedding from today (Monday) at 4pm until tomorrow morning at 5am.
This loadshedding has been caused by higher demand as a result of the cold front setting in much earlier than expected, as well as high breakdowns of generation units.
The generation supply constraints will persist throughout the high winter demand period, which increases the likelihood of loadshedding.
Breakdowns currently total 14 560MW of capacity, while another 2 300MW is unavailable due to planned maintenance. Some generation units are expected to return to service starting this evening, which could help ease the strain. This, however, is not sufficient to eliminate the high probability of loadshedding for the rest of the week.
Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 this afternoon until 05:00 tomorrow
