Eskom halts load-shedding ahead of schedule as capacity recovers

Eskom suspended load-shedding at 9pm on Sunday.

The power utility tweeted that it was pleased to announce that load-shedding would be suspended due to sufficient recovery in generation capacity. 

On Friday, after “an improvement in the generation capacity, together with the traditionally reduced weekend demand”, load-shedding was reduced to stage 1.

Before Sunday’s announcement, stage 1 was expected to end at 5am on Monday.
