Winter is coming: Eskom warns that planned maintenance will continue

Eskom has warned that its planned maintenance outages will continue as it prepares for the upcoming winter season.

The parastatal made the announcement on Sunday after suspending the latest bout of load shedding.

Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena said the utility has recovered over 3000 MW generation capacity and replenished emergency reserves.

“We maintain our position that load shedding is largely behind us due to structural improvements in the generation fleet.  While baseload capacity remains constrained, our generation recovery plan is addressing this challenge.”
