Johannesburg - The Energy Intensive User Group SA (EIUG) is waiting for a meeting date with Eskom's CEO to get clarity on its power availability after the utility's decision to suspend scheduled load shedding, a technical consultant at the group's secretariat said on Monday.

"We want to be able to plan ahead," said Paul van Niekerk.

Eskom's chief executive officer Jacob Maroga recently announced that from May 5, scheduled load shedding would be suspended because of increased savings from municipalities.

Van Niekerk said that members needed to determine what the position was to decide on how to go ahead with future projects and production.

The EIUG is an association of large scale, high intensity energy consumers whose members account for 40% of electricity used in the country.
