Eskom records 406 consecutive days without load-shedding

In force Other

On 26 June 2026 Eskom reported 406 consecutive days without national load-shedding since 16 May 2025, after only 26 hours of load-shedding across four days in April and May 2025. This is a major reliability improvement, but local load reduction and network faults remain separate risks and future national supply cannot be guaranteed.

Who it affects

Residents, employers and remote workers assessing electricity reliability.
