While ESKOM announced on Tuesday that it would be forced to resume Stage 2 Loadshedding from midday until 10 pm due to breakdowns in its generating units, the City of Town said its consumers will only be on Stage 1.

Stage 2 load shedding entails suppressing 2 000 megawatts of electricity demand at a given time to avoid overwhelming and tripping the national grid.

This, together with the need to conserve emergency generation reserves, necessitated rolling blackouts in order to protect the integrity of the system.
