JOHANNESBURG – Eskom has announced that it will implement stage 2 load shedding from 10pm Tuesday night to 5am Wednesday.
In a statement issued Tuesday, the power company said this was necessary to preserve and replenish emergency generation reserves and maximize available capacity during the day.
“The power generation system is still severely restricted due to the failures of the high-generation units during the last two days, as well as the delay to return to service of some units outside of planned maintenance,” the statement added.
Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 10:00 p.m. tonight to 05:00 a.m.
