Load shedding suspended this weekend

Eskom has announced that load shedding will be suspended at midnight on Friday, due to lower weekend demand. A further update will be published on Sunday afternoon, “or as soon as any significant changes occur.”

“Since Wednesday evening a generation unit each at Arnot and Majuba power stations were returned to service while a generating unit each at Duvha, Hendrina, Lethabo and Tutuka power stations were taken offline for repairs.”

There is currently 5 254MW on planned maintenance, with another 15 190MW of capacity unavailable due to breakdowns.
