Eskom has published an outlook of the loadshedding schedule starting Monday, 6 May 2024.
Loadshedding outlook for this week: Here’s what to expect
In a statement released on Sunday, Eskom confirmed that the suspension of loadshedding would be extended past 39 days due to “ongoing sustained improvements in generation performance.”
“Over the past few weeks, there has been a consistent and significant improvement in curbing unplanned outages – technically known as the Unplanned Capacity Loss Factor (UCLF)-due to the success of the Generation Operational Recovery plan which commenced in March 2023,” the utility said.
Moreover, the loadshedding outlook for the week ahead suggests outages may remain suspended as Eskom expects to return a total of 2 600MW of generation capacity to service by Monday evening.
