Here’s the City of uMhlathuze load-shedding schedule
'Plan on the assumption that load shedding will take place' - Eskom
ESKOM has warned that although there is a ‘low probability’ of rotational load-shedding during the day, the possibility increases for the evenings between 5pm and 9pm due to the national increase in demand during this time of the day.
In a statement, the company said this morning that certain areas of the City could experience darkness for up to four hours.
Unplug
‘While safety of employees remains our first priority, recovery teams at our power stations continue to work hard to stabilize the power system and to return our generation plant as quick as possible,’ said the statement.
‘Eskom’s prognosis is that the power system will take up to approximately ten days to recover from the effects of the recent industrial action, once all staff eventually return to work today.’
‘We continue to encourage residents and businesses to please use electricity sparingly to ease the demand of electricity by:
• Switching off geysers during the day especially during peak periods – namely 7am to 10am and 6pm to 9pm
• Unplugging all non-essential lighting and electricity appliances to assist in reducing demand
