Eskom has announced that it will implement a Stage 2 loadshedding from 11 am on Wednesday, 2 February until 5 am on Monday,7 February.
According to the power utility, the immediate implementation of loadshedding is necessary due to a shortage of generation capacity following breakdowns at two more generating units during the night.
“Since the weekend Eskom has utilised significant amounts of emergency units at Kusile, Tutuku, Duvha, Lethabo and Grootvlei have also contributed to the current supply constraints,” Eskom said.
