The power utility implemented Stage 2 load shedding yesterday afternoon, after Unit 5 of Medupi Power Station tripped, taking some 700 MW capacity with it. The announcement followed an earlier warning that load shedding may have to be implemented at short notice after a number of generating breakdowns.
