Eskom announced its suspension of loadshedding  the state owned power supply says it is pleased to inform the public that  the generation capacity has improved following the return of some generators to service. Over the past 24 hours Eskom teams have successfully returned two generation units each at Kusile, Kriel, and one at Tutuka Power Stations to service. 

Another two generation units are expected to return to service today while emergency generation reserves have also adequately recovered. Eskom says thedy would like to thank the people of South Africa for their patience and understanding during the loadshedding. While the supply situation has improved at this point, Eskom would like to request the public to continue using electricity sparingly as the system is vulnerable and unpredictable. 

As Eskom has regularly stated, the risk of loadshedding remains elevated while they conduct increased reliability maintenance. They currently have 4 920MW on planned maintenance, while another 13 897MW of capacity is unavailable due to unplanned maintenance, breakdowns and outage delays.
