Stage 2 load shedding returns from Tuesday
Eskom has announced the return of load shedding during peak hours from 4 pm on Tuesday.
The power utility says it has been forced to implement the planned power cuts following the delayed return of generation units and breakdowns over the last 24 hours.
“This decision follows the delayed return of generation units amounting to 3,120MW, as well as an additional loss of 1,385MW in the past 24 hours due to unplanned breakdowns,” said Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokoena.
“The primary reason for this setback is the delay in returning several units from planned maintenance.
“These delays, coupled with an unplanned capacity loss that has now temporarily exceeded 13,000MW, align with the risk scenarios shared in our Winter 2025 Outlook.”
This round of load shedding is expected to last until 10 pm on Thursday.
