Eskom calls off loadshedding

The system remains constrained and vulnerable.

Loadshedding was suspended countrywide from 8am this morning due to an earlier then expected recovery.

Since Friday evening, Eskom has returned 4 generation units to service at the Medupi Power Station as the coal constraints improved.

Another 2 units also returned to service while the emergency generation reserves were replenished.

The possibility of loadshedding remains high while maintenance is being done.

Eskom has 4 664MW on planned maintenance, while another 13 539MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.
