Eskom warns of the possiblity of Stage 2 load-shedding

The power utility said this is due to a shortage of generation capacity and a delay in returning units at various power stations.

POLOKWANE – Eskom said Stage 2 load-shedding could be implemented at short notice between 16:00 and 00:00 over the next three days.

The power utility said this is due to a shortage of generation capacity and a delay in returning units at the Arnot, Kusile and Koeberg power stations and generation unit failures at Medupi, Hendrina, Camden and Majuba power stations.

“Should there be any further loss of generation capacity over the next three days, or should some units fail to return to service as anticipated, load-shedding may be required at short notice,” a statement read.
