Stage 1 rotational loadshedding to be implemented until 22:00 tonight (29 Nov)
According to Eskom, loadshedding is conducted "as a measure of last resort to protect the power system from a total collapse or blackout"
Eskom announced earlier today that Stage 1 rotational loadshedding is implemented from 12:00 until 22:00 tonight.
Customers are advised to keep checking their load shedding schedules on the Eskom website or municipal websites to determine when they are due for loadshedding.
These schedules are available on the Eskom website (https://loadshedding.eskom.co.za). Eskom customers can also contact Eskom’s Customer Contact Centre at 0860 037 566.
Stage 1 rotational loadshedding requires 1 000 MW to be loadshed nationwide.
According to Eskom, loadshedding is conducted “as a measure of last resort to protect the power system from a
total collapse or blackout”.
In its media release, Eskom says: “We encourage residents and businesses to please use electricity sparingly to ease the demand of electricity. Please switch off geysers as well as all non-essential lighting and electricity appliances to assist in reducing demand. Eskom will provide regular updates on the status of the power system through all the media platforms.”
