Eskom said that no load shedding is expected on Christmas Day as well as on Boxing Day.
The power utility said on Tuesday that this was due to a decrease in electricity consumption over the festive season and the return of some generating units to service.
“Our technicians would continue to work over the holiday period to monitor the situation, carry out planned maintenance and work to reduce unplanned breakdowns to below 9 500MW which will help reduce the risk of load shedding.”
Eskom, however, reminded customers that the possibility of load shedding remains as the system continues to be “vulnerable and unpredictable”.
