Cape Town – Eskom implemented stage 1 load shedding, or up to 1 000 megawatts of power cuts, on Sunday morning, it announced in a statement.
“Eskom will implement Stage 1 load shedding from 07:00 until 22:00 this evening,” the power utility said.
“This is due to a combination of a shortage of generating units and low reserve levels at our pumped storage schemes and open cycle gas turbines.” - ANA
