JOHANNESBURG: South Africa’s state-owned power utility schedules nationwide rolling blackouts through tomorrow because of a delay in restarting generation capacity that was offline for repairs along with additional equipment breakdowns.
Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd implemented so-called stage 2 loadshedding, taking 2,000 megawatts offline to prevent a total collapse of the grid, during peak-use hours that started on Tuesday, the company said in a statement.
