Eskom load shedding schedule
According to Sapa, Eskom is implementing stage three rolling blackouts.
At 12.22pm the power utility tweeted: “Eskom has implemented Stage 3 load shedding.”
Eskom said it would release a statement on Friday.
On its load-shedding website, it said rolling blackouts would be used “under emergency conditions for limited periods”.
It said three schedules had been developed, based on the possibility of risk and to ensure it was applied fairly and equitably.
Stage one allowed for up to 1000MW of the national load to be shed, stage two for up to 2000MW and stage three for up to 4000MW.
On the website, it said load-shedding would generally be implemented in two hour blocks, plus 30 minutes for switching between blocks, from 5am to 9.30pm.
