No loadshedding expected today, but possibility has increased for the week

Eskom loadshedding

Power utility, Eskom, says no loadshedding is expected on Monday, and the possibility of loadshedding has increased for the week.

Eskom reminded South Africans that there is a possibility of increased loadshedding over the next 18 months as the power utility are conducting critical maintenance to restore the ageing plant to good health.

“We request customers to continue to use electricity sparingly and to assist us in reducing demand:

  • Set air-conditioners’ average temperature at 23ºC
  • Switch off your geysers over peak periods
  • Use the cold water tap rather than using the geyser every time
  • Set your swimming pool pump cycle to run twice a day, three hours at a time
  • At the end of the day, turn off computers, copiers, printers and fax machines at the switch.

 “We appeal to customers to revisit their loadshedding schedules on the Eskom (http://loadshedding.eskom.co.za) or local municipal websites, depending on their electricity supplier, to review amendments.”
