Eskom suspends load shedding

Load shedding

Cape Town – Eskom says it has suspended load shedding due to a marginal improvement in its generation capacity.

Eskom made the announcement on Sunday.

“Due to a marginal improvement in the generation capacity, load shedding has been suspended.

“While this is the case currently, Eskom cautions the public that as the shortage of generation capacity persists, the system will continue to be constrained with an elevated risk of load shedding over the coming weeks,” it said in a statement.

“We currently have 4,331MW on planned maintenance, while another 13,805MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns,” it added.

Load shedding had been reduced to stage 1 on Saturday.
