The City of Cape Town continues to experience stable electricity supply, with loadshedding suspended for 268 consecutive days.
City of Cape Town power update: Friday, 20 December 2024
This uninterrupted power delivery is a result of Eskom’s ongoing Generation Recovery Plan, which has improved coal-fired fleet reliability and reduced unplanned outages.
Eskom’s year-to-date Energy Availability Factor (EAF) remains at 62.7%, while diesel usage continues to track below budget, contributing to significant cost savings.
With sufficient generation capacity to meet today’s forecasted demand, no power interruptions are expected for Cape Town residents.
Eskom is set to release its latest weekly power alert later today, which will provide an updated national electricity outlook for the coming week.
This report is expected to include performance metrics, maintenance updates, and any potential developments affecting electricity supply.
