Summary
Eskom’s making big strides—six provinces are now off the load shedding schedule, restoring power to over a million customers. Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West, Northern Cape, Western Cape, and Free State have all cleared their targeted feeders, while Gauteng, Eastern Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal still face cuts, with Gauteng lagging at just 40% progress. The turnaround? Improved generation performance—Eskom’s Energy Availability Factor is climbing, unplanned outages are down, and the country’s now in its first year without load shedding. The goal? A seventh province off the list by October 2026, with full recovery expected by 2027. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
