State owned power utility Eskom has announced that load shedding will remain suspended until 05:00 on Monday morning.
“Due to improved generation capacity availability, load shedding will continue to be suspended until 05:00 on Monday, read the statement.”
However, from Monday morning to Thursday, Stage 3 will be implemented during the daytime, from 05:00 to 16:00, while Stage 4 will occur during the night, from 16:00 to 05:00.
“This is due to the normal expected increase in demand for electricity during the week and an increase in planned maintenance. Eskom will communicate should any significant changes occur.”
Unplanned outages are currently at 12 884MW, and planned maintenance is 7 319MW of generation capacity.
For access to other load shedding schedules, Eskom has made them available on loadshedding.eskom.co.za.
Smartphone users can also download the app EskomSePush to receive push notifications when load shedding is implemented, as well as the times the area you are in will be off.
