Stage 2 load-shedding will then be implemented daily from 16:00 through the night to 05:00 until further notice.
It is anticipated that no load-shedding will be implemented during the day on Tuesday. Eskom will publish a further update as soon as there are any significant changes.
The continued implementation of load-shedding is mainly due to the high levels of breakdowns and the limited emergency generation reserves.
Eskom currently have 5032MW on planned maintenance, while another 16 390MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.
Loadshedding is implemented only as a last resort in view of the shortage of generation capacity and the need to attend to breakdowns.
