Eskom has made changes to its announced long weekend load shedding schedule.
Power utility Eskom has walked back on its plan to suspend load shedding this weekend, announcing that load shedding will now continue at stage 1 until further notice.
The plan was initially to implement stage 2 load shedding overnight on Saturday and suspend load shedding entirely for the afternoon on Sunday . At the start of the week, load shedding alternated between stage 3 during the day and stage 4 in the evenings. “Three of these power stations, Camden, Duvha and Matla, have been on a sustained upward trend as a result of a reduction of plant breakdowns and the return to service of a number of units that were on unplanned breakdowns,” the group said.Board chairperson Mpho Makwana said the improved performance is rooted in the company’s ‘all-hands-on-deck-approach’, adding that it will continue to improve the national energy availability.
