Eskom has announced that load-shedding will be suspended at 22:00 tonight, but has warned that the power system remains severely constrained and volatile.

The power utility said in a media statement today that nine generation units were expected to return to service over the weekend.

“The low weekend demand will assist in replenishing emergency reserves. This, together with the reduced weekend demand, will enable Eskom to suspend load-shedding,” reads the statement.

Eskom said it is likely that it will rely on emergency reserves throughout next week to meet demand.
