Eskom to implement rolling blackouts on Thursday evening

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Eskom has announced that Stage 2 rolling blackouts will resume from 5 o’clock until 10 o’clock on Thursday.

The power utility has been implementing Stage 2 rolling blackouts since Monday during evening peak hours.

The utility’s Spokesperson is Sikhonathi Mantshantsha.

“A shortage of generation capacity during the evening peak will require the implementation of Stage 2 load shedding (rolling blackouts) from 17:00 until 22:00 tonight. The onset of winter has seen increased demand and this will lead to capacity constraints throughout this period, particularly during the evening. Unfortunately, this would mean we have to load shed during the evening peaks as we will do tonight.”
