Eskom on Wednesday evening announced it had implemented stage 2 load-shedding. In a short statement, Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena said the power utility faced a loss of five generation units before peak period and Eskom had consequently implemented stage 2 load-shedding at 6.25pm that will remain in effect until 5am on Thursday.
“We continue to prioritise planned maintenance to strengthen system reliability ahead of the winter months, while ensuring adherence to environmental and licensing conditions.
“In light of the ongoing system constraints, we urge the public to use electricity sparingly,” Mokwena said.
The DA shares in the outrage of all South Africans at this bout of Loadshedding with zero notice. He emphasizes that South Africans need to stand together in outrage over this economic issue.
This shows the incontrovertible need for a competitive energy generation market. The DA calls for Eskom’s immediate horizontal unbundling to break its monopoly and end its ongoing failure to meet South Africa’s electricity needs.
South Africa needs new generation capacity to be built now! This is an immediate, and pressing concern for the nation, South Africa.
Eskom has also apologised for the inconvenience caused and said it would continue to provide updates as required.
