- Eskom suspends load shedding at specific areas.
While generator capacity has partially recovered over the weekend, Eskom says it will stop load shedding whenever it is practical.
According to a statement released by the electric company on Friday, load shedding would be reduced to Stage 1 from 5 am on Saturday to 4 pm because of some capacity recovery during the previous 48 hours and a lower than expected demand. Then stage 2 load shedding will be implemented till five in the morning on Sunday.
“Load shedding will be suspended on Sunday between 5 am and 4 pm Thereafter, Stage 1 load shedding will be implemented from 4 pm on Sunday until 4 pm on Monday. Stage 2 load shedding will be in force from 4 pm on Monday until 5 am on Tuesday.
“Load shedding will then again be suspended from 5 am on Tuesday until 4 pm, thereafter Stage 2 will be implemented until further notice,” said the power utility.
