It’s becoming easier to be right

By

Eskom announced earlier this afternoon that it will implement stage 1 load shedding from 5pm to 10pm.

In Eskom’s ‘daily weather bulletin‘ earlier on Tuesday warnings of load shedding were ‘low’ for the morning, but ‘high’ for the evening.

The utility started load shedding again on Sunday evening after ten consecutive days of no load shedding, as it struggles to meet the increased winter demand for electricity.

On Monday Eskom moved quickly from stage 1 to stage 2 “due to a further shortage of generation capacity” after warning thathe prognosis for the evening was ‘medium’.

Stage 1 areas affected in Nelson Mandela Bay:

  • 17h00 to 18h30: Group 5
  • 18h00 to 20h30: Geysers
  • 20h00 to 22h00: Group 6

If Stage 2 becomes effective then these areas will be affected:

  • 17h00 to 18h30: Group 7 and 8
  • 18h00 to 20h30: Geysers and Group 1
  • 20h00 to 22h00: Group 4 and 5
