Loadshedding

Mon, 31 May 2021 – Staff Writer

Eskom have announced that stage 2 load-shedding will be implemented from 4pm today until 5am on Tuesday morning due to the higher demand as a result of the cold front arriving earlier than expected, as well as breakdowns of generation units.

The utility said breakdowns were currently at 14 560MW of capacity, while another 2 300MW was unavailable due to planned maintenance.

Although some generation units were expected to return to service from monday night, Eskom said this was not sufficient to eliminate the high probability of loadshedding for the rest of the week.
