Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Update \u2013 27 January<\/p>\n

Eskom says that four of its units have gone down overnight, necessitating that load shedding be escalated to stage 2 until further notice.<\/p>\n

The group had previously announced its intention to suspend load shedding during the day this weekend.<\/p>\n

Stage 2 load shedding has been in effect since 05h00 on Saturday and will continue until conditions change.<\/p>\n

Original \u2013 26 January<\/p>\n

Eskom says that sustained generation and anticipated lower demand this weekend means that outages can be suspended during the day.<\/p>\n

Stage 1 load shedding will continue as previously announced until 05h00 on Saturday, it said, but outages will be stopped until 16h00 thereafter.<\/p>\n

Stage 1 load shedding will kick in again overnight, with the same pattern repeating on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The utility said it would announce any further changes should they occur, with an update for next week planned for Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
