Eskom Resumes Load Reduction Amid Continued Suspension of
Load Shedding

Eskom has gone 103 days without load shedding due to better generation capacity but now faces network overloads and electricity theft, particularly in winter. Over 2,100 transformers are overloaded, mainly in seven regions. The "Save Your Transformers, Save Lives" campaign encourages customers to consume less, ensure legal connections, and report theft. Load reduction measures, differing from load shedding, are being enforced during peak hours. Despite community engagement and removing illegal connections, the problem persists, with Eskom urging legal electricity use and reporting criminal activities. More updates will follow from Eskom.
