eThekwini Municipality new loadshedding scedule
We are currently #Loadshedding in stage 2.

Load-shedding is ONLY implemented under an extreme emergency and sustained load-shedding over sequential days is unlikely, hence customers that are switched off can expect to only experience a single or at the worst case a few incidents of load-shedding a year.
EThekwini Electricity urges all customers to assist in reducing the electricity demand by turning off all non-essential equipment at all times.
During load-shedding we urge customers to switch off high-demand appliances like geysers, stoves, air-conditioning etc. so as to ensure that the waiting load at the time of restoration is not high. High waiting loads can result in a protection trip of individual circuits which will require staff to be dispatched to the point of supply and therefore will result in an extended outage time for all customers on that circuit.
