Eskom Suspends Load Shedding

Eskom has announced that loadshedding has been suspended from 10 o clock this morning.

The power utility says this is due to sufficient generation capacity and replenishment of emergency reserves in the past 44 hours.

Eskoms spokesperson Daphne Mokwena says there is a change in the frequency of rolling blackouts due to structural improvements in the generation fleet.

However, Mokwena warns that planned maintenance outages continue in preparation for winter.

Load shedding will be suspended today at 10am Coal operations at Kusile Power Station are at optimal levels, with all units that were offline as of Friday now back in service. Planned maintenance outages aimed at preparing for winter and meeting regulatory and environmental licensing requirements continue.
