Load-shedding at Stage 1─── 06:04 Mon, 28 Nov 2022
Load-shedding was suspended at midnight on Sunday and resumed with Stage 1 from 05:00 – 16:00 on Monday.
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 5 032MW on planned maintenance, while another 16 390MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.
Load-shedding is implemented only as a last resort in view of the shortage of generation capacity and the need to attend to breakdowns.
