Eskom’s Adaptive Approach: An Ever-Changing Load Shedding Landscape

---

Latest News:
Eskom, South Africa’s primary power utility, announced a continuation in its suspension of load shedding on Thursday, thanks to enhanced generation capabilities.

Snapshot:

• Why the Suspension? Improved generation and fewer breakdowns, now sitting at 13,501MW of generation capacity, have enabled this break.
• But There’s a Catch: While daytime relief persists, power cuts resume by evening. Specifically, stage 3 load shedding takes over from 16h00 until 05h00 on Friday.

The Schedule You Need to Know:

• Thursday, 21 September:
  • Midnight to 02h30: Stage 3
  • 02h30 to 16h00: Load shedding suspended
  • 16h00 to Midnight: Stage 3
• Friday, 22 September:
  • Midnight to 05h00: Stage 3
  • Post 05h00: Yet to be disclosed

A Fresh Tactic:
Eskom seems to be testing new waters this week, shifting from its routine schedules. Instead, they’re adopting a day-to-day assessment approach, moulded by the grid’s real-time health. This dynamic strategy has brought more hours of uninterrupted power, contrasting sharply with the previous week’s relentless stage 6 load shedding.

Stay tuned for any pivotal updates from Eskom, and adjust your plans accordingly.
