Eskom has announced that Stage 2 loadshedding would be implemented from 10 pm on Tuesday until 5 am on Wednesday.
This would be repeated on Wednesday.
“This loadshedding is necessary to preserve emergency generation reserves in preparation for higher demand expected during January as economic activity resumes,” Eskom said
Spokesperson, Nkosinathi Mantshantsha said during this period Eskom would continue to pursue increased reliability maintenance as planned and previously communicated.
“We currently have 9 745MW on planned maintenance, while another 11 346MW capacity is unavailable due to unplanned maintenance. Eskom teams are working around the clock to return as many of these units to service as soon as possible,” he said.
Eskom requests the people of South Africa to use electricity sparingly in order to help us limit the impact of loadshedding.
