JOHANNESBURG, March 7 (Reuters) - South African state power utility Eskom said on Friday that it would implement "Stage 3" scheduled power cuts until Monday after losing 2,700 megawatts (MW) of generation capacity over the past 14 hours.

The power cuts will be implemented from 1400 local time (1200 GMT) on Friday until Monday at 0500 (0300 GMT), the company said in a statement.

The stages of power cuts are an incremental system where Stage 1 sees up to 1,000 MW cut from the system, with Stage 6 the highest implemented to date.
