Stage 2 loadshedding to be implemented today
Eskom will continue to assess and communicate as the situation changes
Eskom has announced that it will implement Stage 2 loadshedding today, 10 March at 5pm.
This is set to continue until Friday, 12 March at 11pm, Eskom stated that this is due to the generation capacity being severely constrained. It was further stated that is also a probability that loadshedding may be implemented at short notice should any further breakdowns occur.
Continued poor performance at the Kusile, Duvha and Tutuka power stations, as well as delays in the returning of other units to service and breakdowns over the past week, have caused the need to implement loadshedding.
The power utility further stated that there is a high probability that loadshedding may continue to be implemented throughout the weekend.
Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented at 17:00 this afternoon until 23:00 on Friday
