Cape Town – Eskom has announced that stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 17:00 to 22:00 on Thursday evening.
“A shortage of generation capacity during the evening peak will require the implementation of stage 2 load shedding from 17:00 until 22: 00 tonight. Last night a generating unit at Lethabo Power Station was taken offline for repairs. One generation unit each at Kusile and Tutuka power stations were returned to service.
“The onset of winter has seen increased demand and this will lead to capacity constraints throughout this period, particularly during the evening and morning peaks. Unfortunately, this would generally require the implementation of load shedding during the evening peaks,” said the power utility said in a statement.
Eskom urged the public to use electricity sparingly during the early hours of the morning and in the evening.
