Eskom warned on Tuesday that it will implement stage 1 load shedding from 17:00, which is likely to continue until 22:00 this evening. This is due to a shortage of generation capacity resulting from technical faults at some of our units, it said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Eskom also said load shedding is implemented as a necessary measure to protect the power system and to ensure that maintenance is done to guarantee that its supply of electricity can be maintained in the long term.<\/p>\n
Eskom further warned that any unexpected changes on the vulnerable and constrained power system could lead to a change in the load shedding stage at short notice.<\/p>\n
Eskom said municipal customers should contact their municipalities for information.<\/p>\n
