Preface
As of today, there is no load shedding scheduled.
There is no load shedding today.
How do I find load shedding in my area?
Load shedding is a process where electricity is cut off for a period of time in order to conserve power. Load shedding can be scheduled in advance, or it can be done in an emergency situation when there is a high demand for electricity and the power supply is low. To check what the position is of load shedding at any time, go to loadsheddingeskomcoza. This is a monthly time table for load shedding.
The current bout of load shedding is related to inadequate national energy supply to meet demand. The current situation is unsustainable and measures need to be taken to increase energy supply and/or reduce demand. The current load shedding schedule is as follows:

Stage 2 of the load shedding process will double the frequency of Stage 1. This means that you can expect to be scheduled for load shedding 6 times over a four day period, or 6 times over an eight day period. The duration of the load shedding periods will be increased to two hours at a time for four days, or four hours at a time for eight days.
What can stop load shedding?
There is a growing need for short-term demand interventions in the municipal and industrial sectors. Rooftop solar PV and other small-scale embedded generation (SSEG) solutions can help meet this demand. Intelligent and smart load management (peak load shifting; load limiting; shedding of non-critical loads and shedding of water heaters) can also help reduce demand.
It is important to keep high density and high traffic areas, such as the CBD, running smoothly as these areas are crucial for the movement of people and goods. Load shedding in these areas would cause major disruptions and so it is important to maintain a reliable power supply.
Is load shedding getting worse?
It is clear that load shedding is becoming an increasingly serious problem in South Africa. This is a worrying trend, as it impacts both businesses and households. We can only hope that the situation improves in the future.
Load-shedding has a direct impact on mobile network infrastructure, which in turn affects mobile Internet speeds. This was evident in a MyBroadband analysis, which showed that Vodacom and Telkom customers saw the most significant drops in network performance during periods of load-shedding. The study also found that MTN and Cell C customers experienced slight decreases in speed, while 8ta customers saw no change in performance.
Does load shedding save electricity
It’s a good idea to budget your electricity usage according to your load shedding schedule, so that you don’t end up using more electricity than you need to. Try to use less energy-intensive appliances during periods of load shedding, and make sure to turn off all electronics and appliances when they’re not in use.
A typical home inverter is a device that converts DC (direct current) power from a battery or solar panel into AC (alternating current) power that can be used to run electrical items in your home. Home inverters are generally used to supply backup power to a TV, a light, a decoder, Wi-Fi, and a laptop or PC for four hours during load shedding.
What keeps Wi-Fi on during load shedding?
Many people rely on uninterrupted power supplies (UPS) or backup batteries to keep their networks up during load shedding. This is because UPS systems provide a backup power source that can keep the network running for a short period of time in case of a power outage. Additionally, backup batteries can provide power to the network for a longer period of time, making them ideal for use during extended power outages.
The South African government has implemented “Stage 5” power cuts, which require up to 5,000 megawatts to be shed from the national grid. This means that most South Africans will be without power for at least eight hours a day. The government has said that the power cuts are necessary to avoid a complete blackout of the country’s power supply.
What do you do during load shedding at night
It can be easy to feel down when the power goes out, but there are actually lots of fun activities you can do to pass the time. Here are a few ideas:
-Call a friend and catch up
-Look up to the stars and invest in a telescope
-Play with pets or look at family photos
-Take time to meditate or soak in a bubble bath
-Read out loud or play a game
With stage 7 load shedding, it is estimated that 7000 MW of power will be cut off. This will result in power cuts that are scheduled over a four day period, for four hours at a time. This is a significant negative impact on the South African economy, and is likely to cause widespread disruptions.
Do hospitals get load shedding?
Gauteng province in South Africa is responsible for a large portion of the country’s health services. This includes a high number of exempt hospitals, three medical universities, and central hospitals. These institutions play a vital role in providing quality healthcare to the people of South Africa.
Load shedding poses a major challenge to education in South Africa. When learners cannot study sufficiently at home, it impacts their ability to achieve success in school. Even commuting to school can be a problem when traffic lights are not working, causing traffic jams and late arrival of learners. This has a negative impact on education and creates a barrier to success for many learners.
When did load shedding start
The first period of load shedding in South Africa occurred from 2007 to 2008. The main cause of the load shedding was a lack of generating capacity. Other causes that have been postulated include skills shortages and increasing demand for electricity around the country. Daily load shedding occurred for the first time for two weeks in January 2008.
The towns of Kleinzee and Koingnaas have never experienced load shedding, even though it was introduced 15 years ago. This is because Kleinzee lies on the west coast of the Northern Cape, while Koingnaas was established as a satellite town in 1970.
In Summary
There shouldn’t be any load shedding today.
