Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 05:00 on Monday until 05:00 on Tuesday, and again during the evening peaks from 16:00 until midnight on Tuesday and Wednesday, Eskom said on Sunday afternoon.

"Eskom will publish a further update on Wednesday afternoon, or as soon as there are any significant changes," spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said.

Since Saturday afternoon, a unit each at Tutuka and Matimba power stations were taken offline for repairs, while a unit each at Kendal, Kusile, Matla and Tutuka power stations were returned to service.

Currently, the power utility has 4 886 MW on planned maintenance, while another 13 792 MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.
