10 March 2025- Eskom said it has suspended load shedding on Sunday. This comes after the recovery of more than 3 000MW of generation capacity and the replenishment of sufficient emergency reserves.
Eskom’s Group Executive Generation, Bheki Nxumalo said coal operations at Kusile Power Station are at optimal levels. Nxumalo said all units that were offline as of Friday, are now back in service.
“Progress on the recovery of Koeberg Unit 2 is well underway. Eskom reassures the public that Koeberg Unit 2 remains safe. Planned maintenance outages are aimed at preparing for winter and meeting regulatory and environmental licensing requirements.
“The team is working diligently to restore 4 091MW back to service by Monday. We maintain that load shedding is largely behind us due to structural improvements in the generation fleet. While baseload capacity remains constrained, our generation recovery plan is addressing this challenge,” he said.
Nxumalo further said the dedicated efforts of our highly skilled staff remain unwavering. He added that Eskom will communicate further when it is necessary.
