Load Shedding,South Africa,Energy

Load shedding in South Africa will remain suspended for the foreseeable future due to sustained available generation capacity and adequate emergency reserves.

will remain suspended for the foreseeable future, and it is in fact in a strong position on the energy-generation front.“This decision comes… as a result of sustained available generation capacity and adequate emergency reserves ,” said the utility’s spokesperson Daphne Mokwena.“Tonight’s evening peak demand is expected to reach 26 816MW. Unplanned outages are currently at 13 807MW, while planned maintenance is at 4 700MW.

Speaking to guests, Mashatile said the government was making strides in addressing load shedding, ensuring energy security, enhancing logistics systems, and improving ports and rail networks. “I would like to assure you that plans are in place, nationally, to ensure that load shedding is ended this year. I know you don’t believe me. They think I am electioneering, but I am not. It is true. That is why I am not saying it will end before the elections. I am saying this year.
