No daytime loadshedding expected over the weekend
Due to the sustained improved performance of generation availability as well as the anticipated lower demand over the weekend, loadshedding will be suspended between 05:00 and 16:00 on Saturday and Sunday, Eskom said on Friday.
Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 until 05:00 on both Saturday and Sunday.
On Friday, meanwhile, Stage 3 loadshedding will still be in place from 16:00 until 05:00 on Saturday.
Breakdowns are currently at 14 266MW of generating capacity while the capacity out of service for planned maintenance is 5 388MW, Eskom said.
Over the past 24 hours, a generating unit each at Arnot, Duvha, Ingula and Vanderkloof power stations was taken offline for repairs. In the same period, meanwhile, a generating unit at Hendrina Power Station was returned to service.
