Eskom said loadshedding remains suspended.
This is due largely to planned maintenance, which stands at 6,949 Megawatts (MW).
Eskom said from March 21 to 27 March 2025, average unplanned outages, were reduced to 14,039MW, showing an improvement of 992MW compared to the same period last year.
Available generation capacity is at 26,710MW, enough to meet Friday night’s forecasted peak demand of 26,326MW.
Daphne Mokoena, Eskom Spokesperson, said a total of 4,280MW will be returned to service before the evening peak on Monday, 31 March 2025, to further stabilise the grid.
Mokoena said Kusile Unit 2 is expected to be reconnected to the repaired Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) system and main stack by month-end.
Unit 1 will be offline starting 31 March 2025, for similar work, in compliance with environmental authorisations.
