Due to much improved generation capacity and the lower weekend demand, as well as a full recovery in emergency generation reserves, stage 2 load-shedding has been suspended for Sunday.
“While we are able to suspend the load-shedding at this point, it is important to note that the generation system is still vulnerable to breakdowns and load-shedding may be required.
“We urge all South Africans to continue using electricity sparingly, especially during these uncertain times on the power system,” said Eskom.
