Stage 2 Load-Shedding Implemented in South Africa

News Flash

  • Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented during the evening peak period of 16:00 – 24:00 this afternoon and at the same time tomorrow, South Africa’s state owned energy utility has announced. 

Eskom says the delay in returning a generation unit to service each at Arnot, Koeberg and the Kusile power stations, as well as the unplanned outage of a generation unit each at Camden, Medupi and two units each at Grootvlei, Hendrina and Majuba power stations, have exacerbated the capacity constraints.

Eksom currently has 2 931MW on planned maintenance, while another 15 051MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.

Green Building Africa promotes the need for net carbon zero buildings and cities in Africa. We are fiercely independent and encourage outlying thinkers to contribute to the #netcarbonzero movement. Climate change is upon us and now is the time to react in a more diverse and broader approach to sustainability in the built environment. We challenge architects, property developers, urban planners, renewable energy professionals and green building specialists. We also challenge the funding houses and regulators and the role they play in facilitating investment into green projects. Lastly, we explore and investigate new technology and real-time data to speed up the journey in realising a net carbon zero environment for our children.
