Consumers are reminded to 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.

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