Stage 2 load-shedding to continue until Monday
JOBURG – Eskom says load-shedding is necessary to ensure that the integrity of the grid is not compromised.
Eskom has implemented Stage 2 load-shedding from 8am until 5am tomorrow morning, 6 January.
The power utility surprised many by implementing Stage 2 load-shedding late last night (4 January) from 10pm.
In a statement, it said the system remains constrained and vulnerable.
“The conveyor belt failure at Mepudi power station has since been repaired and the plant is feeding into the grid. This incident, however, as well as a loss of additional generation units caused us to have to deplete our diesel and pump storage levels, which we need to restore as we head into the working week on Monday.”
Eskom said their team is working tirelessly to return units back from planned and unplanned outages, but insisted that load-shedding is necessary to ensure the integrity of the grid is not compromised.
