Thereafter, Stage 2 load shedding will resume from 16:00 until 05:00 on Tuesday, when load shedding will be suspended again from 05:00 until 16:00.

The alternating pattern of suspending load shedding from 05:00 until 16:00 and implementing Stage 2 load shedding from 16:00 until 05:00 will be repeated daily until further notice.

This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network.
