Stage 3 loadshedding

Loadshedding remains highly unlikely this week as Eskom’s Energy Availability Factor (EAF) averaged 57.4% over the past week and 62.54% year-to-date.

With a peak demand forecast of 25,830MW and an available generation capacity of 27,929MW for this week, Eskom is well-equipped to meet electricity needs.

Top-performing stations, including Medupi and Kusile, achieved over 70% EAF.

Eskom has an available generation capacity of 29,157MW, comfortably exceeding the projected average peak demand of 25,954MW.

Eskom power update: Loadshedding remains suspended with an EAF of 61.4%, reduced outages, and improved capacity. Read the full update for the week starting 18 November 2024.

High-performing stations like Medupi, Camden, Tutuka, and Kusile, along with other peaking facilities, are sustaining EAFs above 70%, with four other stations recording EAFs over 60%.

Eskom’s August outlook projected a loadshedding-free summer, and with current performance holding steady, this prediction remains credible.

Maintenance activities are ongoing, with planned maintenance at 6,591 MW, aligning with Eskom’s summer maintenance strategy.

Eskom’s projected evening peak demand for this week is expected to average 28,842MW.

To manage this demand ahead of the week, Eskom plans to return about 3,650MW of generating capacity to service by Monday, 1 July 2024.

Loadshedding remains suspended starting Monday, 24 June 2024, due to improved stability. Here’s what to expect this week.
