Stage 1 load shedding until Sunday 16:00

UPDATE: National load shedding has been suspended until further notice.

LOAD SHEDDING NEWS - After the suspension of load shedding from midnight on Friday until 08:00 today, the consistent improvement in generation performance and lower than anticipated electricity demand has enabled Eskom to reduce load shedding from Stage 2 to Stage 1 from 12:20 today until 16:00 on Sunday.

Eskom will communicate should any significant changes occur and will provide an update for the week ahead outlook tomorrow afternoon.(Eskom)

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.
