Eskom has announced that it will suspend load shedding from midday on Friday.
In a statement, the power utility says the decision came after some generation units returned to service, helping to restore generating capacity to meet the customer demand.
The power utility says it currently has 7 183MW on planned maintenance, while another 10 464MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns and delays.
“The improved generation availability, together with the lower long weekend demand, has enabled us to cancel load shedding at this point. Eskom would like to apologise to the people of South Africa for the inconvenience suffered during the load shedding.”
The country had been dealing with stage 2 load shedding for days now.
Eskom says it will use this long weekend to conduct short-term maintenance.
