Eskom eases load shedding – here’s the new schedule

Power utility Eskom says that a slight increase in available generation capacity means that load shedding will be eased on Wednesday.
Load shedding will continue at stage 2 load shedding until 10h00, after which it will drop to stage 1 from 10h00 until 14h00, followed by a move back up to stage 2 until further notice.
Previously, the country was on a stage 3 evening / stage 2 daytime alternating schedule.
Eskom said it would monitor the situation and announce any changes as they occur.
Wednesday, 7 February
- Stage 3: 00h00 to 05h00
- Stage 2: 05h00 to 10h00
- Stage 1: 10h00 to 14h00
- Stage 2: 14h00 to 00h00
