Cape Town - Eskom has announced that Stage 2 load shedding would be implemented from Wednesday afternoon from 4pm.
In a statement, the national power utility said stage 2 load shedding was likely to continue until 10pm on Wednesday as a last resort to protect the power system from complete blackout.
“This is due to a shortage of generation capacity as several units are currently out of service due to planned and unplanned outages,” it said.
“Any additional changes on the already vulnerable and constrained power system could lead to a change in the stage at short notice.”
Load shedding schedules could be found on Eskom’s website (loadshedding.eskom.co.za) or by calling the customer call centre on 0860 037 566 for all Eskom customers
Municipal customers would be able to contact their respective municipalities for schedule information.
