Eskom has delivered a rare glimmer of good news for the weekend – load shedding will be suspended at midnight on Friday.
Stage 2 load shedding will remain until 4pm on Friday, after which it will increase to stage 3.
Load shedding will however return on Monday.
The utility also said it would publish a “further update” on Sunday afternoon, “or as soon as there are any significant changes”.
“Since Thursday morning, Eskom teams have returned a generating unit each at Arnot, Kendal, Kriel and two units at Tutuka power stations”.
There are currently 6 234MW on planned maintenance, with 13 779MW of unavailable electricity due to breakdowns.
