Eskom to suspend load shedding on Monday
Power utility Eskom says it will suspend load shedding on Monday evening.
This comes after almost a week of rolling power blackouts.
Spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha says the power utility’s generation capacity is slowly improving.
“Eskom is pleased to inform the public that load shedding will be suspended from 23:00 tonight as the generation capacity has improved following the return of some generators to service.
“Over the past 24 hours Eskom teams have successfully returned two generation units each at Kusile, Kriel, and one at Tutuka Power Stations to service. Another two generation units are expected to return to service tomorrow while emergency generation reserves have also adequately recovered.”
He warns that the country isn’t out of the woods yet.
“While the supply situation has improved at this point, Eskom would like to request the public to continue using electricity sparingly as the system is vulnerable and unpredictable.
“As Eskom has regularly stated, the risk of load shedding remains elevated while we conduct increased reliability maintenance,” says Mantshantsha.
