Stage 2 load shedding to continue until further notice, says Eskom

'Breakdowns of four generating units have forced the implementation of Stage 2 load shedding,' says Eskom.

JOHANNESBURG - Eskom announced a return of Stage 2 load shedding on Saturday, and says this stage will continue indefinitely.

This after the power utility suspended power cuts from midnight on Friday, citing a lower electricity demand on the weekend. "Breakdowns of four generating units have forced the implementation of Stage 2 load shedding," the utility said in a Saturday statement. "These were two units at Grootvlei and a unit each at Camden and Medupi power stations. Further, a delay in returning a generating unit to service at Lethabo Power Station has contributed to the capacity shortages," added Eskom.Breakdowns of four generating units have forced the implementation of Stage 2 loadshedding from 14:00 on Saturday. pic.twitter.com/bdTUW72QSt
