Eskom promises lights on this winter with no load-shedding forecast

# Eskom says it does not expect load-shedding this winter, citing improved power system stability and a more reliable generation fleet. The utility projects a stable electricity supply from this month to August, supported by reduced breakdowns, increased maintenance and a surplus in peak capacity. Eskom’s Daphne Mokwena says ongoing reforms and cost savings have strengthened the grid but warns delays in new power projects could pose risks to long-term energy security beyond 2029.
