Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Power utility Eskom says that load shedding will be reduced to stage 2 on Tuesday (12 December) before moving back to stage 3 tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The power utility previously said that load shedding would remain at stage 3 load shedding until 16:00 on Thursday.<\/p>\n

However, Eskom said due to sustained generation capacity improvement and adequate emergency reserves, load shedding will be reduced to stage 2 from 07:00 today until 16:00.<\/p>\n

Thereafter, Stage 3 load shedding will be implemented, as previously communicated, from 16:00 today until 16:00 on Thursday.<\/p>\n

On Monday (11 December), Eskom noted that unplanned outages were at 12,889MW, whilst planned maintenance stands at 7,115MW of generation capacity, while an additional 1,000 MW \u2013 or one stage of load shedding \u2013 was expected to return to service from Monday until Thursday.<\/p>\n

Eskom said it would continue monitoring the power system closely and would communicate should any significant changes occur.<\/p>\n
