LOAD shedding was changed from stage 1 to stage 2 at 8.20am today (Friday, 12 June) and this is likely to continue until 10pm.
According to Eskom, this is due to a further shortage of generating capacity and increased electricity demand.
Any unexpected changes on the vulnerable and constrained power system could lead to a change in the load shedding stage at short notice.
Eskom assures customers that load shedding is implemented as a necessary measure to protect the power system and to ensure that maintenance is carried out in order to guarantee that supply of electricity can be maintained in the long term.
