Eskom said loadshedding remains suspended, due to a stable power system and emergency reserves.
Daphne Mokwena, Spokesperson of Eskom, said “we are also on track to replenish the emergency reserves in preparation for the next business week.
The generation capacity in the system remains constrained as Eskom continues to maintain high levels of maintenance, averaging 7 032MW in February. This is part of efforts to improve fleet reliability in preparation for the high winter demand, while also meeting environmental license conditions and regulatory requirements.”
Some units are expected to return from maintenance, as part of the Generation Recovery Plan, which has been in place since March 2023.
This is a total of 3, 610MW expected back before the evening peak on Monday, 03 March 2025.
Year-to-date diesel savings have reached R16.69 billion, which is 55.7% less than the R29.98 billion spent during the same period last year.
As of Friday, unplanned outages were at 14, 534MW and available generation capacity at 27, 347MW.
