South Africa: Daytime Load Shedding Suspended Until Wednesday

South Africa’s power utility company, Eskom, has announced that the suspension of daytime load shedding will continue until Wednesday.

Eskom previously announced that Stage 2 will return at 16:00 on Monday.

This will be suspended at 05:00 on Tuesday.

The pattern of daytime suspension and Stage 2 in the evening will continue until Wednesday.

Eskom will provide another update on Wednesday or should any significant changes occur.

Eskom said on Sunday that load shedding would be suspended until 4pm on Monday due to the return to service of unit 3 at Kusile power station,  sustained improved generation performance and lower than anticipated electricity demand.

Eskom said that thereafter Stage 2 load shedding would be implemented, adding it would communicate any other significant changes.
