South Africa,Load Shedding,Power Cuts

South Africa has gone 18 consecutive days without load shedding, the longest period so far in 2024. The suspension of power cuts is due to the sustained availability of generation capacity and emergency reserves at power stations. Eskom plans to leverage wind energy to mitigate the impact of load shedding during the winter season.

Most power cuts this year were at Stage 1 and 2, showing a shift from the more severe outages of the previous year., the suspension of the rolling blackouts was due to the sustained availability of generation capacity and emergency reserves at its power stations.“Eskom will provide an update on Wednesday afternoon or promptly communicate any significant changes should they occur,” the power utility brief said in a statement on Sunday.

The minister disclosed that while the winter plan was still underway, Eskom anticipates allocating R30 billion for diesel procurement for the current financial year.
