NATIONAL NEWS - Minister of Electricity and Energy, Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, will hold a media briefing on Thursday, 25 September to announce interventions aimed at ending load reduction.

Load reduction involves the intentional interruption of electricity supply in specific areas where the local network is overloaded, particularly during times of peak demand.

This measure is essential to safeguard critical infrastructure, particularly in areas affected by high energy losses or illegal connections that place excessive strain on the isolated networks.

“With load shedding now largely behind us, having served as a nationally coordinated, rotational power interruption to protect the integrity of the electricity grid, the spotlight shifts to tackling load reduction,” the advisory read.

The briefing will be held in Pretoria. – SAnews.gov.za
