Beleaguered power utility, Eskom, has ramped up load-shedding to stage 3 from 4pm on Wednesday until further notice.

Eskom Spokesperson, Sikhonathi Mantshantsha, says the power utility has had no choice but to bump loadshedding from stage 2 to 3.

“Due to the breakdown of two generating units and the delay in returning to service three generating units from planned maintenance, Stage 3 loadshedding will be implemented today at 16:00 until further notice,” Mantshantsha said.

Eskom has been implementing stage 2 load-shedding since December 31.
