Loadshedding ends at 11pm tonight and is not expected to continue for the remainder of the week, says Eskom.
Eskom returned four generation units to service today, helping to relieve pressure on the system.
“These generation units returned more than 1 500MW capacity to the system.
“This took total generation capacity returned to the system since 10 July to more than 3 500MW.”
Eskom said available capacity had risen to more than 34 000MW, the highest so far this year.
“We have been able to replenish our emergency reserves, which are crucial to protect the national grid from the possibility of multiple generation unit trips.”
Eskom urged the public to continue reducing power usage as the system remains unpredictable and unreliable.
