Eskom rolls out Stage 2 power cuts 'till further notice'
Power utility Eskom has implemented Stage 2 loadshedding on Monday morning, saying this will continue, for now.
Over the weekend, the Eskom implemented stages 1 and 3 of loadshedding.
Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena says the implementation of Stage 2 is due to the loss of two generating units over the week end.
"The increase of planned maintenance as part of Eskom’s plan to improve its generation fleet reliability, Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 5am on Monday until further notice.
"Eskom will closely monitor the power system and provide an update should any significant changes occur.
"Unplanned outages account for 14 641MW of generating capacity, while the capacity out of service for planned maintenance increased to 7 850MW."
