Stage one load shedding from 5pm this evening

Eskom will be implementing stage one load shedding from 5pm today.

The load shedding is likely to continue until 10pm this evening and due to a shortage of generating capacity as some the company’s power stations’ units are currently on maintenance.

Any unexpected changes on the vulnerable and constrained power system could lead to a change in the load shedding stage at short notice.

The company urges electricity users to consider energy efficient ways of keeping warm.
