After Eskom downgraded load shedding to Phase 1 on Sunday afternoon, a higher phase kicks in again on Monday.

According to the power supplier, Phase 1 load shedding will resume on Monday at 08:00 after being suspended on Sunday at 22:00. Phase 1 will then last until 16:00.

Phase 2 applies from 16:00 to 22:00.

The pattern will be repeated on Tuesday and “most likely” on Wednesday as well.

Eskom has undertaken to keep consumers informed in the event of any changes in the network. At this stage, however, the network is still considered unreliable and vulnerable.

The power provider said load shedding was put into operation this past weekend to replenish emergency generation reserves that had been depleted in the past week.

He expects several generating units to reconnect to the power grid over the next few days, which will help ease the pressure on the grid.

Unplanned maintenance work has taken 9,272MW out of the network, while 6,314MW is not available due to planned maintenance work.

Eskom has asked consumers to use electricity sparingly.
