While the risk remains high, loadshedding will only be implemented if absolutely necessary. We remind customers that loadshedding is a controlled measure which protects the power system from a total collapse or blackout.<\/p>\n
Residents and business entities\u00a0 are encouraged to continue to use electricity sparingly. Please switch off geysers, pool pumps as well as all non-essential lighting and electric appliances to assist in reducing demand.<\/p>\n
