Consumers are reminded to PLEASE use electricity sparingly when power returns after a 4-hour load shedding slot. 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.
