Load shedding suspended for the weekend

Friday, October 20, 2023

Eskom has announced that it expects to suspend load shedding for the entirety of the coming weekend including Friday (today).

The State-owned power utility said on social media platform, X, that load shedding is expected to resume on Monday.

“The suspension of load shedding for more than three days is as a result of the continued good generation fleet performance and the expected lower weekend demand.

“Breakdowns have reduced to 12 925MW, whilst planned maintenance is at 4 889MW of generation capacity. A further update will be provided on Sunday afternoon. Eskom will communicate should any significant changes occur,” Eskom said. – SAnews.gov.za
