South Africa’s power company, Eskom, has announced that stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 4 pm to midnight every evening for the next few days.
Eskom had lost some 14 061 MW of energy due to breakdowns, with a further 5,487MW offline due to maintenance.
The power utility lifted load shedding over the weekend for the first time in at least three weeks after recovering some generation capacity. The load shedding will allow it to replenish its reserves further.
Eskom will endeavour to limit load shedding to night-time to have minimal impact on the economy and population. The load shedding will replenish emergency generation reserves during the night to bolster generation capacity. Eskom will publish a further update as soon as any significant changes occur.
