As a result of a shortage of capacity due to a number of generating units still out of service due to breakdowns, Eskom will be implementing stage two rotational loadshedding from 9am today.
Loadshedding is likely to continue until 10pm.
Customers are reminded to treat all electrical points as live during loadshedding.
Eskom apologises for the inconvenience caused.
Stage two calls for 2000MW to be rotationally loadshed nationally at a given period.
Loadshedding is conducted rotationally as a measure of last resort to protect the power system from a total collapse or blackout.
Eskom appeals to residents and businesses to use electricity sparingly during this period.
Please switch off geysers, as well as all non-essential lighting and electricity appliances to assist in reducing demand.
For Eskom customers, these schedules are available on the Eskom website (https://loadshedding.eskom.co.za).
Eskom customers can also contact our customer contact centre at 0860 037 566.
Ekurhuleni residents can download their loadshedding schedule by visiting www.ekurhuleni.gov.za.
