JOHANNESBURG – Eskom has announced that there is a high probability of stage two rotational load-shedding from 9am until 10pm on Friday as a result of loss of additional units overnight.
The power utility announced that it’s ended stage one load-shedding.
Eskom is urging residents and businesses to use electricity sparingly.
It says this will ease the demand of electricity.
Load shedding is conducted rotationally as a last resort, to protect the power system from a total collapse or blackout.
“We encourage residents and businesses to please use electricity sparingly to ease the demand of electricity,” Eskom said in a statement.
“Please switch off geysers during the day as well as all non-essential lighting and electricity appliances to assist in reducing demand.
“Customers are advised to keep checking their load-shedding schedules on the Eskom or municipal website, and plan on the assumption that load shedding will take place.”
