Due to a major spike in electricity usage from 17:00 onwards, Eskom has issued an electricity emergency.

According to Eksom’s Facebook page:

“The grid remains under significant strain particularly from 17:30 to 18:30, when the demand spikes primarily due to residential usage

In the event that load shedding is implemented, it will be done in stage 1 of the load shedding schedules and could move into stage 2 should the demand continue to increase.”

Load shedding might occur from 17:00 – 20:00 across Cape Town on Thursday evening, after there was originally no shedding scheduled for this evening.
