Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town \u2013 City of Cape Town customers will also be on stage 2 load shedding tonight, but will protect customers should power cuts extend beyond 5am tomorrow, the City says.<\/p>\n

Today, Eskom announced it would be implementing stage 2 load shedding from 10pm today until 5am tomorrow in order to replenish emergency-generation reserves.<\/p>\n

\u201cEskom regrets to inform the public that load shedding will be implemented from 22:00 tonight until 05:00 tomorrow morning,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

\u2019\u2019This load shedding is necessary in order to preserve and replenish the emergency generation reserves and to maximise the capacity available during the daytime hours.<\/p>\n

\u2019\u2019The power system is still severely constrained due to high-generation unit breakdowns during the past two days, as well as the delayed return to service of some units out on planned maintenance.<\/p>\n

\u2019\u2019We currently have a 4 858MW on planned maintenance, while another 14 375MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns and delays. Eskom expects some of these generation units to return to service from tomorrow, and will continually assess the situation.\u201c<\/p>\n

The City of Cape Town took to Twitter to explain the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cShould Eskom extend load shedding after 5am, City-supplied customers will be on stage 1 until 10pm. Eskom-supplied customers will be on stage 2.\u201d<\/p>\n

The City said it would communicate any changes that arose. Customers have been advised to check the load shedding schedule at http:\/\/capetown.gov.za.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us know if your power remains off for longer than the load shedding schedule,\u201d the City said.<\/p>\n
