While Eskom says it is still on track to suspend load-shedding at 5am on Friday, it has warned of the possibility of load-shedding next week.
Eskom said the planned suspension of load-shedding is due, in part, to the lower demand expected over the weekend, however the power utility said the power system remains fragile. According to Eskom, it will undertake opportunity maintenance during the low demand weekend to address some risks on running units.
