Cape Town - Not even an hour after announcing that it had escalated load shedding to Stage 3, Eskom on Saturday night announced that Stage 2 had been introduced again.
Load shedding was changed back to stage 2 at 18:45 and this is likely to be until 22:00. This is as a result of a decrease in electricity demand.
Any unexpected changes on the vulnerable and constrained power system could lead to a change in the load shedding stage at short notice, Eskom said.
