GARDEN ROUTE | KAROO NEWS - Due to lower weekend demand, load shedding will be suspended at midnight. 

Stage 2 load shedding will again be implemented on Monday , 31 October. 

 The lower weekend demand has made it possible to suspend load shedding from midnight until Monday. 

Stage 2 load shedding is currently underway until 16:00 today, whereafter it will increase to Stage 3 until midnight. 

Eskom will publish a further update on Sunday afternoon, or as soon as there are any significant changes.

Since Thursday morning Eskom teams have returned a generating unit each at Arnot, Kendal, Kriel and two units at Tutuka power stations. 

We currently have 6 234MW on planned maintenance, while another 13 779MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns. 

Load shedding is implemented only as a last resort in view of the shortage of generation capacity and the need to attend to breakdowns.
