Consumers are reminded to use electricity sparingly after power returns, especially 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.

This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network and reduce current high MVA spikes.
