Load-shedding remains suspended due to sustained improvements in generation performance

VAALDRIEHOEK - Eskom says load-shedding will remain suspended, with today marking the 40th consecutive day without blackouts. This is due to significant improvements in curbing unplanned outages and the reliability of the generation fleet. A total of 2,600 megawatts is expected to be returned to service by today. The power utility's spokesperson, Daphne Mokwena, says the energy availability factor has been above 60% since the 29th of last month and reached the 65% mark at the start of this month.
