Stage 3 load shedding for Thursday; Stage 2 if City-supplied
Stage 3 load shedding will end at 10p.m Thursday night.
Eskom implemented the latest rolling blackouts
since 8a.m
‘’Although there has been a slight improvement
in generation performance today (Wednesday), we have unfortunately had further
breakdowns at Kusile, Matla and Tutuka Power Stations,’’ it said in a
statement.
It added that its emergency generation
reserves, have depleted.
It further said that Stage 2 loadshedding will
then proceed throughout the night.
The utility upped the rolling blackouts to
stage 4 on Wednesday, citing further breakdowns and a need to preserve
emergency generation capacity.
If your electricity is supplied by the City of
Cape Town, then you will only load shed on Stage 2 until 5p.m
The municipality has enough generation capacity
to ‘’protect’’ customers from one stage of Eskom’s load shedding.
The City says it will thereafter move to Stage
3 for 2 hours, before reverting back to Stage 2 between 7-10p.m
