Eskom – load shedding suspended

This decision follows the successful recovery of generation capacity and significant progress in replenishing emergency reserves. Although overnight replenishment is still needed, these developments will result in a stable power system.

Ongoing planned maintenance stands at 6 660MW, in alignment with our summer period maintenance strategy. This increased level of maintenance is necessary to prepare for winter to further improve reliability and meet license and regulatory requirements.

Eskom will communicate on Friday, 28 February 2025, or as soon as any significant changes occur. (ESKOM)
