Eskom starts week with stage 2 load shedding
Eskom will implement stage 2 load shedding from 4pm on Sunday until 5am on Monday.
Thereafter, the power utility will suspend the planned power cuts until 4pm on Monday.
Stage 4 load shedding will resume at 4pm on Monday until 5am on Tuesday, followed by stage 1 load shedding until 4pm.
This pattern will be repeated daily until further notice.
The embattled power utility says during the low demand periods overnight, load shedding may be suspended for a few hours to manage the system.
The utility’s interim spokesperson Daphne Mokwena says 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.
“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."
