Cape Town – Eskom has announced that stage 2 load shedding is set to be implemented from 17:00 on Sunday to 22:00 evening.
Thereafter load shedding will be moved up to stage 3 on Monday and Tuesday from 17:00 to 22:00.
On Wednesday throughout the week load shedding will again be reduced to stage 2 during the same times.
“Due to a further loss of generating capacity, stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 17:00 until 22:00 tonight. On Monday and Tuesday evening, at the same times, load shedding will be implemented at stage 3. Thereafter load shedding will be reduced to stage 2 for the rest of the week,” said Eskom in a statement.
The power utility says it will continue to monitor the system, adjust and communicate any changes as may be necessary.
“Eskom appeals to all South Africans to help limit the impact of load shedding by reducing the usage of electricity and to switch off all non-essential items,” said Eskom.
