LOAD SHEDDING NEWS - In order to allow further replenishment of the pumped storage dams, Stage 2 load shedding will continue until 05:00 on Saturday morning. Thereafter, Stage 1 load shedding will be implemented from 05:00 until 05:00 on Sunday. On Sunday, load shedding will be suspended from 05:00 until 16:00. Stage 1 load shedding will then resume from 16:00 until 05:00 on Monday.
Eskom will communicate should any significant changes occur. An update on the week ahead will be shared on Sunday.
Consumers are reminded to PLEASE use electricity sparingly after power returns. Please do not switch high-usage equipment on immediately after load shedding.
Consumers are urged to turn off high-usage equipment and where possible to not switch on appliances such as stoves and kettles for at least 30 minutes after load shedding is scheduled to return. This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network.
