Thereafter, Stage 1 load shedding will be implemented from 05:00 until 16:00 on Sunday. A further update will be provided on Sunday afternoon.

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.
