JOHANNESBURG - Eskom says its summer outlook for electricity supply remains unchanged and will meet its power demand.
This follows the suspension of load shedding at 6am on Sunday morning.
On Friday afternoon, the power utility was forced to implement stage 3 load shedding due to failures at two of Eskom's best-performing power stations - Matimba and Lethabo.

Eskom had kept the lights on uninterrupted for more than 300 days.
The power utility's spokesperson, Daphne Mokwena: "With load shedding largely behind us, the structural improvements and efficiency gains we have made in our coal-fired generation fleet are secure, along with the over R16.3 billion saved in diesel costs from April 1, 2024, to January 30, 2025."
