The state-owned electricity utility said it has moved much closer to its goal of achieving an "energy availability factor", or EAF, by the end of March 2025.
"This achievement is marked by a reduction in unplanned outages, which are measured by the unplanned capacity loss factor UCLF and other capacity loss factors OCLF, to 7.3GW," the company said in a statement late on Friday.
"The last time Eskom reached a comparable UCLF milestone was four years ago. This achievement follows Eskom's recent milestone of delivering the longest stretch of uninterrupted power supply in five years, reaching day 206 of load shedding suspension on Saturday, 19 October 2024."
As of the date of this publication, load shedding has been suspended for 220 consecutive days.
"Ongoing planned maintenance is at 6.1GW, aligning with our summer maintenance strategy to further increase the reliability of the stations in preparation for winter 2025 and beyond."
