No loadshedding foreseen this summer, as Eskom generation recovery plan boosts its performance

State-owned power utility Eskom forecasts no loadshedding during the summer from September 1, to March 31, 2026, as supply and demand interventions have added about 4 000 MW of extra capacity to meet expected demand this summer. The ongoing recovery and structural improvements in Eskom’s generation fleet was owing to the focused implementation of its Generation Recovery Plan by its workforce, said Eskom officials and Electricity and Energy Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa during a briefing on September 5.
