Load shedding remains suspended until further notice
Power utility Eskom has confirmed that load shedding will continue to remain suspended until further notice.
Power utility Eskom confirmed in an X post on Sunday that load shedding will continue to remain suspended until further notice.
Eskom confirmed that: “Loadshedding will remain suspended until further notice.
“After 22 consecutive days of no load-shedding, it will remain suspended until further notice. This positive development is attributed to the sustained availability of generation capacity and emergency reserves.
“The evening peak demand tonight is expected to reach 28 65MW.”
Eskom pleaded with the public to switch off non-essential appliances to reduce the demand, especially between 17:00 and 21:00.
Monday represents the 19th straight day of no load shedding in the country. Eskom will provide updates on Sunday.
Any bets as to how long it will last…?
We will keep the public abreast of the latest developments when changes occur.
