Eskom says Loadshedding to continue all day on Sunday
JOHANNESBURG - Eskom continued load shedding throughout Saturday night in an effort to build up necessary water reserves in the pump storage scheme, but shifted from stage four to stage two from 11pm, the power utility said in a statement
"Unfortunately, even with the implementation of stage four load shedding [on Saturday], Eskom experienced a further decline in water reserves, which was used to supplement generation capacity. Eskom is currently implementing stage four load shedding due to the loss of capacity which included imports from Mozambique.
"Eskom’s maintenance teams are hard at work at our power stations in order to return units to the system. Load shedding is conducted rotationally as a measure of last resort to protect the power system from a total collapse or blackout. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience during this difficult period," Eskom said.
