No load-shedding was expected on Tuesday and the probability of scheduled power cuts was low for the rest of the week, Eskom said.

''Eskom will continue to use emergency reserves to supplement capacity if necessary over this period," the power utility said. 

It added that its technical teams would continue to work throughout the Christmas holidays to reduce the magnitude of unplanned breakdowns to below 9,500 megawatt.

Consumers should reduce consumption to help lower the need for load-shedding, Eskom added.
