Eskom has announced a temporary halt to load shedding until next week Friday at 4 o’clock, citing a consistent enhancement in available generating capacity.
The Electricity Minister, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, recently disclosed that Eskom’s generation capacity has reached 55%, with plans to elevate it to 60% in the first quarter of the coming year.
The suspension provides a welcomed respite for South African residents and businesses, as Eskom pledges to remain vigilant, closely monitoring the power system for any developments and promptly communicating significant changes.
