Weekend power constrained: Eskom | News Article

Pretoria - Power supply will remain extremely constrained over the weekend but no blackouts are expected, Eskom said on Friday.

"The forecast for the weekend and the coming week indicates that the system will remain extremely constrained," it said in a statement.

"The electricity supply system is still tight but stable and no load shedding is expected."

However, extra loads or faults could result in rolling blackouts.

Eskom was making progress with planned maintenance, but it urged customers to save electricity.
