Daytime load-shedding will increase to stage 2.
During the early hours of Tuesday morning, the state-owned power utility issued a brief statement saying that this was due to the loss of three generation units last night.If the load-shedding schedule continues as previously announced, stage 3 will commence from 16:00 this afternoon until 05:00 tomorrow morning.
However, it is unclear whether Eskom will be able to recover enough generating capacity to avoid increasing power cuts over the evening peak.
