Electricity provider Eskom's next goal is to reduce the need for load reduction after saying its generation recovery plan has brought stability to the grid.
The utility said its winter 2025 schedule ended on August 31 with only 26-hours of load-shedding across four nights, successfully supplying electricity 97 of the time to support the economy.
The summer outlook for September 1 to March 31 forecasts no load-shedding, a recovery from last summers 13 days of load-shedding due to delayed unit returns from planned maintenance.
