Power utility Eskom suspended loadshedding at 05:00 on February 26, following the recovery of generation capacity and the replenishment of emergency reserves.

“We maintain our guidance that loadshedding is largely behind us due to structural improvements in the generation fleet. Our focus remains on eliminating loadshedding as a structural constraint on the economy.

“There will be valuable lessons to be learned from the set of multiple unit trips that were unconnected and purely technical in nature related to electrical and control system issues within auxiliary parts of our power stations,” says Eskom Group CE Dan Marokane.

Eskom Generation executive Bheki Nxumalo points out that ongoing planned maintenance stands at 6 660 MW "in alignment with our summer period maintenance strategy, which is at increased levels in order to prepare for winter and meet licence and regulatory requirements".
