Cape Town – South African power utility Eskom has announced the suspension of load shedding over the long weekend due to improved generation availability and lower anticipated demand.
Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented briefly on Friday afternoon until Saturday morning, after which load shedding will be suspended.
Stage 1 load shedding will resume on Tuesday.
“During the long weekend, Eskom will address minor defects on some generating units by performing planned maintenance. Eskom will closely monitor the power system and communicate any changes to load shedding should it be required,” Eskom said in a statement.
