High risk of rotational stage one load-shedding, Eskom says it will be implemented if absolutely necessary
Eskom has warned of a possibility of stage one load-shedding as the power system remains vulnerable.
Eskom has warned that there is a high risk of load-shedding after it did not implement stage one load-shedding on 5 March.
The state utility said the system remains tight and vulnerable and load-shedding will be only implemented if it is absolutely necessary.
Residents have been advised to continue to use electricity wisely, geysers and non-essential lighting should be turned off.
The power system has remained vulnerable since Eskom returned with rotational load-shedding from 11 February, at one stage parts of the country were hit with stage four load-shedding. They have blamed it on poor infrastructure, running of coal reserves, not receiving enough it and a dwindling budget.
Eskom has also advised residents to continue checking load-shedding schedules on the Eskom website or contact the customer call centre at 086 003 7566.
