Varying stages of load shedding to be implemented due to generating unit breakdowns

Eskom said it would implement varying stages of load shedding on Monday following a breakdown of some generating units.

Stage one load shedding started at 5 am on Monday morning and will continue until 4 pm before stage three of the rolling power cuts begins.

Stage three will then be implemented from 4 pm in the afternoon until Tuesday morning.

This pattern is expected to continue indefinitely.

Eskom spokesperson, Daphne Mokwena: “We would like to thank those who do heed the call to use electricity sparingly and efficiently, including switching off geysers and pool pumps from 17:00 to 21:00, as this lowers demand and helps in alleviating the pressure on the power system and contributes to lower stages of load shedding.”
