Eskom has announced<\/strong><\/a> that it has changed its load-shedding schedule for Tuesday 8 September.<\/p>\n

Load-shedding will subsequently not take place between 08:00 and 16:00 as originally scheduled, with stage 1 load-shedding taking place from 16:00 until 22:00 tonight.<\/p>\n

This is due to the return to service of a number of power generation units as of last night, Eskom said.<\/p>\n

The power utility stated that it will continue to communicate any changes to the supply situation.<\/p>\n

This follows after Eskom announced on Sunday<\/strong><\/a> that stage 1 load-shedding would be implemented from 08:00 until 16:00 on Monday and Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It said that stage 2 load-shedding would also be implemented from 16:00 until 22:00 on both days.<\/p>\n

Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said that Eskom would provide an update on Tuesday evening concerning the load-shedding schedule for the rest of the week.<\/p>\n

Eskom denies accusations of dishonesty<\/h3>\n

Eskom has denied accusations<\/strong><\/a> that it is deliberately deceiving the public on the load-shedding stages which it is implementing.<\/p>\n

This follows after energy advisor Ted Blom accused Eskom of lying about its load-shedding levels, stating that Eskom has implemented higher load-shedding levels without informing the public.<\/p>\n

He argued that this lack of transparency from Eskom is causing confusion among South Africans who may be experiencing load-shedding when they do not expect it.<\/p>\n

Eskom denied that the performance figures published by Eskom show it is deliberately deceiving the public on which load-shedding stages it is implementing.<\/p>\n

\u201cTed Blom knows, or ought to know, that in terms of Nersa\u2019s rule NRS 048-9 once Eskom declares Stage 4 load-shedding, it can request any major industrial customer to curtail up to 20% of load,\u201d Mantshantsha said.<\/p>\n

He said that this accounted for the excess capacity cited in the power utility\u2019s load-shedding figures.<\/p>\n
