Johannesburg - Eskom warned of a high possibility of nationwide power cuts on Monday after anticipating that the cold weather would increase the demand for electricity, the utility said on Sunday.

Spokesperson Andrew Etzinger said Eskom would try to bring a number of power generating units back on-line during the course of Sunday night.

If the utility could not bring these units on-line in time, then power cuts would occur nationally on Monday.

The power cuts would start during the morning peak (06:00 to 10:00.

The cuts would then continue throughout the day into the evening peak (18:00 to 22:00). The power cuts would stop at 22:00 on Monday, said Etzinger.
