South Africa’s state power utility temporarily suspended electricity cuts because of an improvement in available generation capacity. Outages will be halted from 8 a.m. on Tuesday until 4 p.m., when so-called stage 4 loadshedding — the removal of 4 000 megawatts from the grid — will resume, Eskom said in a statement.
The Chinese government is offering SA solar PV equipment and generators that can be used in public institutions to limit the effect of load shedding impacts, says Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa.
