Eskom has been able to reduce the frequency and duration of forced outages from Sunday morning to between Phases 2 and 4, after even last week’s Phase 6 load shedding.
“The levels of the dam, which has been adequately pumped, have been replenished for the next week,” the electricity utility said.
“Diesel levels in open-cycle gas turbine power plants have improved, but they remain low.”
Phase 2 load shedding will be in effect between 8am and 4pm on Sunday, followed by Phase 4 until 5am on Monday.
