City Power temporarily suspended load reduction during the festive season due to a decrease in electricity demand.

City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena said the temporary suspension of load reduction was effective from last Friday until the end of January.

"This reduction in demand, combined with seasonal factors such as warm weather conditions, have contributed to lower energy usage levels, allowing us to temporarily lift load reduction that had been implemented to safeguard the electricity grid," Mangena said.
