Stage 3 load-shedding returns

The loss of three generating units and the delay in returning a further three units to service has led to load-shedding moving to stage 3.

The loss of three generating units and the delay in returning a further three units to service has led to load-shedding moving to stage 3.

This will kick in from 4pm on Tuesday until 5am on Wednesday, when stage 2 will be implemented until 4pm.

This alternating pattern of stages 2 and 3 will be repeated daily until further notice.

Load-shedding was at stages 1 and 2 from Monday. The enforced power outages had been suspended at the weekend between 5am and 4pm.
