Eskom announced it will be suspending load shedding from 8pm on Friday.
In a statement released, the power utility said generation capacity has sufficiently recovered and the demand reduces over the long weekend.
“Over the past 24 hours Eskom teams have returned three generation units to service. This, together with the expected long weekend demand, has sufficiently reduced the constraints on the system, allowing Eskom to suspend load shedding,” the power utility said. “Eskom would like to remind customers and the public that load shedding is implemented as a last resort to maintain stability of the power system,” it said.
The power utility has also requested the public to continue using electricity sparingly and will communicate promptly should there be any significant changes to the power system.
