# Eskom says it has reached 441 consecutive days without load-shedding, marking its best performance in a decade. The utility also recorded its highest energy availability factor since 2017, reduced unplanned outages to an eight-year low, and cut diesel use to zero for two consecutive weeks. Energy expert Chris Yelland says new renewable energy generation capacity has played a significant role in reducing load-shedding, alongside improved Eskom performance, lower electricity demand, and government’s financial support.
