The risk of load-shedding in the next few days is low as there is enough capacity to meet the expected demand, Eskom announced yesterday.

“Our teams continue to work to reduce the incidence of breakdowns to below 9,500MW to increase available capacity and limit the risk of load-shedding,” the statement said.
