After recovering three generation units overnight, Eskom said supply constraints have eased enough to allow for loadshedding to be lifted.

This also means no loadshedding is anticipated for the rest of the weekend.

Three generators were returned to service at the Lethabo, Medupi and Kusile power stations while another unit at Kusile was taken offline for repairs.

Breakdowns stand at 8 750MW of capacity, adding to the 4500MW currently out on planned maintenance.

While the supply constraints have eased for the rest of the weekend, Eskom reminded the public to continue using electricity sparingly, stating that the electricity infrastructure was unpredictable, unreliable and volatile.
