Load shedding moved to stage 2 until further notice
Power utility Eskom says that load shedding will be moved to all-day stage 2 until further notice.
This is an easing of outages from the previous rotation of stage 2 during the day and stage 3 in the evenings.
“Due to sustained adequate emergency reserves to manage the evening peak and electricity demand, Stage 2 load shedding will continue to be implemented until further notice,” it said.
