Eskom warned us before that the probability of loadshedding continuing both on Wednesday and Thursday was high. Looks like they’re sticking to their word with a Twitter announcement. Stage 2 loadshedding will commence at 4.00 pm, staying with us until midnight on both days.
According to Eskom, over the past 24 hours generation unit breakdowns that occurred at Duvha, Kendal, and Kriel power stations have put severe strain on power generation systems. Not to mention the continued delay in returning generation units to service at Arnot, Kusile and Tutuka power stations.
There is currently 4 550MW available for planned maintenance, while another 14 637MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.
As previously communicated, Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented at 16:00 – 24:00 this afternoon and at the same time on Thursday afternoon pic.twitter.com/i9InlfWVAB
