Stage one rolling power cuts will be implemented on Tuesday morning, power utility Eskom said.
“The system is severely constrained. Therefore we have had to implement stage one load shedding from 10am to 10pm,” spokesman Khulu Phasiwe said.
Stage one allows for up to 1000MW of the national load to be cut, stage two for up to 2000MW, and stage three for up to 4000MW.
Phasiwe said the power cuts could end earlier if consumers used electricity sparingly.
The power grid was under pressure on Monday after one of Koeberg’s units – which produces 900MW – was taken out of service because of a technical fault.
Phasiwe said the unit was still down on Tuesday.
“We are trying to sync it into service. It will take a few days but it should be online soon.”
If we enter Stage 2 then the load shedding schedule for the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality from today to 8 February is as follows:

why does group 6 never have power cutts although they are on the load shedding schedule?
Group 6 is off as I speak/type/comment/swear.
I AM IN WESTERING AT THE MOMNET (GROUP 6) AND THE POWER NEVER GOES DOWN. PLEASE CHECK FOR YOURSELF.
Certain areas like i mentioned, Westering, Linton Grange and Sunridge Park, not sure about Framesby, never has a load shedding!
According to the Municipality GROUP 6 consists of these areas: Fairbridge Heights, Adcockvale Area, Adcockvale Ext, Jansendal, Burt Drive Area, Fernglen, Lower Central, Cape Rd Area Greenacres, Framesby, Market Square, Cotswold Area, Framesby Ext, Mosel, Greenacres Area, Holland Park, Penford, Newton Park Area, Kabega Park, Scheepershoogte, Parsonshill Area, Kempston Rd Area, Uitenhage Central, Perridgevale, Linton Grange, Van Riebeeck Hoogte, Schauder Area, Morningside from Opal Rd towards Makro, Vanes Estate, Schauderville Area, West Hill, Steytler Township, Winterhoek Park, Sunridge Park, Levyvale, Taybank, Vikingvale, Westering and Korsten.
These are also the areas as reflected in the RHS Sidebar of MyPE.
I am in Parsons Hill and my load shedding schedule is as reflected.
If you do not have any load shedding then count yourself lucky.
I am so annoyed with Eskom that only certain areas are affected with the load shedding. I have family memebers in Group 6 areas as i mentioned (Framesby, Sunridge, Westering and Linton Grange) and their power does not go off at all. Why are certain areas being “discriminated” against? Perhaps the family members of Eskom or NMMM lives in these areas??
Asked my mates at the Metro if maybe they could let us know why!
Thank you!! Would be interesting to know why.
This is the reply received – http://mype.co.za/new/why-some-people-dont-experience-load-shedding/45618/2015/02
I see that Group 6 is the ‘lucky recipient’ of TWO load shedding periods today – see: http://mype.co.za/new/and-today-it-is-stage-two-load-shedding/45592/2015/02
I want to know why was there no power cuts in Sunridge Park [group 8] , yesterday 2015/02/05 , 16:00 to 18:30 but other groups on same stage 3 schedule . did have load shedding . Can somebody please explain. Thank you.
Hi Alan, according to the load shedding schedule, Group 6 (areas Sunrdige Park, Westering, Linton Grange), these areas mentioned, is not affected by the load shedding. Why are they the “lucky ones” as you say??
i would also like too know who will be held accountable/ responsible for any things that breaks, example my modem, foods. because sometimes the electricity doesn’t go off as per schedule.
