    Eskom did not implement stage 1 load shedding at 10am today, as they earlier warned.

    Eskom did not implement stage 1 load shedding at 10am today, as they earlier warned.

    "The electricity demand has decreased significantly since the early warning notification was made this morning," the power utility announced in a statement at midday on Tuesday 3 February.

    Eskom earlier announced they would implement stage 1 load shedding from 10am today until 10pm today.

    They said this was due to a shortage of generation capacity.

    "Several units are currently on unplanned outages due to technical faults," the Media Desk said.

    "At Tutuka, Unit 6 experienced a condenser tube leak last night and had to be taken offline; Duvha Unit 6 is on outage so that repairs can be done on its oil cooler; while work is ongoing at Koeberg’s Unit 1 experienced an earth fault on the generator transformer on Sunday.

    "The power system remains constrained and will remain so for the rest of this week. Any extra load or faults in the system may necessitate the need to go into load shedding."

    For Eskom's load-shedding schedules go to http://loadshedding.eskom.co.za or call 0860 037 566.
