Stage 3 Load Shedding Hits South Africa: A Renewed Strain on the Power Grid
Loadshedding News Today
IOL Reports, South Africa is facing Stage 3 load shedding from 14:00 on March 7th to 05:00 on March 10th due to significant issues at Eskom’s power stations. The country’s power capacity has been impacted by a loss of 2,700 MW, largely stemming from Koeberg Unit 2 going offline and the adverse weather affecting coal operations at Kusile. Eskom is focused on recovering lost capacity, with plans for high levels of maintenance throughout the weekend. This stage of load shedding comes after a prolonged period of no power cuts, underscoring ongoing challenges in ensuring a stable energy supply.
Despite these setbacks, Eskom’s Group CEO remains hopeful, emphasizing efforts to recover the grid and reduce future load shedding risks. For specific regions, like Cape Town, load shedding will be reduced to Stage 1 during certain hours.
