Load shedding remains suspended until further notice, says Eskom

JOHANNESBURG - Load shedding will remain suspended through the weekend as Eskom continues to experience sustainable generating capacity.

Friday marks the ninth consecutive day since load shedding was suspended, making it the longest period of full power supply since the December festive season.

Eskom says its ability to replenish its emergency reserves has also contributed to suspending rolling power cuts.

"Eskom will provide a system update on Sunday afternoon or communicate any significant changes should they occur. The evening peak demand tonight is expected to reach 25 465mw," said spokesperson Daphne Mokwena.
