❓

What is Loadshedding?

Loadshedding is a controlled process where Eskom, South Africa's power utility, temporarily switches off electricity supply to different areas to prevent the national grid from collapsing. This is done when the demand for electricity exceeds the available supply.

During loadshedding, different areas are scheduled to have their power cut for specific periods, usually 2-4 hours at a time. The schedule rotates to ensure fair distribution of power cuts across the country.
