Cape Town – Eskom has announced that stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 17:00 to 22:00 on Friday evening.
“The continued shortage of generation capacity during the evening peak will require the implementation of Stage 2 load shedding from 17:00 until 22:00 tonight. Several generating units are expected to return to service starting this afternoon and through the weekend. Since yesterday afternoon a generating unit each at the Majuba, Tutuka, Grootvlei, Kriel and Matimba power stations were returned to service.
“This, however, is still insufficient to suspend the implementation of load shedding as a generation unit each at the Kriel, Kusile, Majuba, Camden, Matla power stations either tripped or were taken offload for repairs,” the power utility said in a statement.
