Over the past 39 days Eskom<\/a> has only implemented two hours and 20 minutes of load shedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs this was stage one load shedding, 96 per cent of South Africans still had uninterrupted electricity supply,\u201d said Eskom in a statement.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The power system is stable and no load shedding is currently taking place.<\/p>\n

However, the risk remains high as the company is operating on a very constrained system made more vulnerable with unplanned events like breakages or sudden increases in electricity demand.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Eskom will continue to provide regular updates on the status of the power system through all the media platforms.<\/p>\n
