South Africans enjoyed some reprieve over the weekend when the entity, in a surprise move, announced the suspension of power cuts from just before midday due to lower demand and improved generation capacity. This lasted until 4pm when stage four load-shedding kicked in between 4pm and 5am.
the different demand patterns on Saturday and Sunday and the time taken to replenish the emergency resources on Saturday determined when the load-shedding stage could be safely suspended”. Questioned on whether South Africans could look forward to a similar outlook for the rest of the week, the entity said the improved capacity and lower demand, coupled with the “higher winter tariff”, would make this possible during the day but not in the evenings.
