Eskom Generator Loss

Stage 2 load shedding after loss of ten generating units

Eskom has announced that it will be implementing stage 2 load shedding from 17:00 on Sunday until 22:00 on Tuesday night.

The power utility said it needed to ration electricity due to the loss of ten generating units at seven different power stations.

“We urge the public to help us by reducing consumption while Eskom teams are working around the clock to restore as many of these units to service as soon as possible,” it said in a power alert on Sunday evening.

The utility said it had lost a total of 6 044MW of generating power over the past 24 hours.
