Eskom announced that it would move to Stage 2 at 18:05 on Wednesday 6 May 2015 and that this was due to a lack of generating capacity.

Eskom initiated Stage 1 load shedding earlier than communicated on Wednesday, starting at 16:12 instead of 17:00, and said that it would likely continue until 22:00.

“Eskom would like to assure customers that load shedding is implemented as a necessary measure to protect the power system and to ensure that maintenance is carried out in order to guarantee that our supply of electricity can be maintained in the long term,” the power utility said.

For some consumers this meant that they had two hours of power from 18h00 before the electricity was cut again at 20h00 for 2.5 hours.
