The power system is stable and no load shedding is currently taking place.<\/p>\n

This comes after load shedding, stage one, was implemented yesterday (Monday).<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe risk of load shedding remains as we operate a very constrained and vulnerable power system,\u201d said the company in a statement this morning.<\/p>\n

The power system will reportedly be tight, particularly over the weekday evening peak periods until Friday this week.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe will continue to monitor the situation, and should it be necessary to implement load shedding, we will communicate this accordingly,\u201d Eskom said.<\/p>\n

As the weather begins to warm up, the use of electricity becomes higher in the day, predominantly due to the increased usage of air-conditioners, geysers and pool pumps.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on all electricity users to continue using electricity sparingly in order to reduce the risk of load shedding,\u201d the company urged.<\/p>\n

Eskom <\/a>will continue to provide regular updates on the status of the power system through all the media platforms.<\/p>\n
