Very important:
Use only essential appliances when the power is restored.
Consumers are reminded to use electricity sparingly especially when power returns after load shedding. This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network.
Consumers are requested, where possible to not switch on appliances such as stoves and kettles for at least 30 minutes after load shedding.
