Blackouts are back – Eskom
The national grid came under pressure yesterday after one of Koeberg’s units was taken out of service due to a technical fault.
BRACE yourselves – Eskom has announced that stage 1 rolling blackouts will be implemented from 10am to 10pm today.
Stage 1 allows for up to 1000 MW of the national load to be cut, stage 2 for up to 2000 MW, and stage 3 for up to 4000 MW.
Should consumers use power sparingly during this time, Eskom said the load shedding could end earlier.
