UPDATE:
Major setback results in stage 2 load shedding for today
Stage 1 rotational load shedding will commence at 9am today, 18 October and will last until 11pm.
Eskom has announced that this is as a result of a shortage of capacity due to a number of generating units still out of service due to breakdowns.
Customers should note that some areas may take longer to be restored. Should customers experience outages for longer periods than announced, they should contact their local municipality as this may be a localised power outage.
Eskom would like to thank customers for using electricity sparingly and industrial customers for their participation in load curtailment today.
