Eskom says load shedding will be suspended at 05:00 on Saturday morning as it anticipates lower demand during the weekend, but cautions that its generation capacity remains constrained. “While the generation capacity constraints persist, the suspension of load shedding is possible due to the anticipated lower weekend demand, as well as adequate levels of emergency generation reserves,” Eskom said in a power alert.
