[ad_1]

Eskom has confirmed that load shedding will remain suspended until further notice. Here are some updates.

Power utility Eskom confirmed in an X post on Sunday that load shedding will remain suspended until further notice.

Eskom said: “Due to the sustained available generation capacity, adequate emergency reserves, and anticipated lower demand at the beginning of the week ahead, loadshedding will remain suspended until further notice.”

Eskom will provide an update on Wednesday afternoon or communicate should any significant changes occur.

The evening peak demand for Sunday evening is projected to be 23 400MW.

Eskom pleaded with the public to switch off non-essential appliances to reduce the demand, especially between 17:00 and 21:00.

The South African website will keep the public abreast of the latest developments when changes occur.

With South Africa heading into a four-day long weekend, due to several businesses and industries shutting down, the demand for electricity will be lower.
