Eskom’s spokesperson says ongoing rain, the inability to replenish water and diesel resources and units failing to come back online mean load shedding will endure.
Eskom is likely to keep implementing stage 2 load shedding for the rest of this week.
Eskom has only confirmed that it will stay in place until 11pm on Monday without respite.
Generating units have remained out of service due to breakdowns and the ongoing rain has wet the utility’s coal.
The utility said there was a “high probability” of load shedding until the end of the week. They have appealed to customers to help reduce demand on the system.
