Load shedding suspended for today – here’s the new schedule

Although Eskom announced earlier today, 6 January that load shedding would only be suspended from 10:00 until 16:00, this has been extended to the whole day.
This was made possible by the return to service of three generating units today.

- Suspended: 10h00 to 00h00
