South Africans can expect lower levels of load-shedding towards the end of the year and into 2024, says acting Eskom CEO Calib Cassim.
The power utility's executive held a briefing on Wednesday on the state of the grid.
According to Cassim, South Africa experienced 39 days of stage 6 load-shedding in winter, with Eskom aiming not to exceed stage 4 in summer.
“The immediate summer outlook indicates load-shedding can be contained within stage 4 if we manage our unplanned load losses within 14,500MW,” he said.
