Consumers are reminded to 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.
This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network and reduce our current high MVA spikes.
Reporting power outages
Please do not phone the after-hours number or the Electrotechnical Department to report that you have no power immediately after load shedding is scheduled to be lifted. Please be aware of the rotational switching on and wait at least 30 minutes before reporting no power.
The directorate will be aware if there has been a possible substation trip that needs to be sorted out.
