Eskom to keep load shedding suspended until further notice
Power utility Eskom says that load shedding will be suspended until a further update is announced on Wednesday.
“Due to the sustained available generation capacity, adequate emergency reserves, and anticipated lower demand at the beginning of the week ahead, load shedding will remain suspended until further notice,” said Eskom.
It added that it would provide a system update on Wednesday (3 April) or communicate any significant changes should they occur.
Currently, unplanned unavailability stands at 13,579MW, while planned maintenance accounts for 7,046MW of generating capacity.
A total of 3,550MW is planned to be returned to service by Tuesday evening.
The evening peak demand tonight is expected to reach 23,400MW.
