Consumers are urged to turn off high-usage equipment and where possible to not switch on appliances such as stoves and kettles for at least 30 minutes after load shedding is scheduled to return. This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network.

Please be aware of the rotational switching on i.e. areas are switched on one by one and not all at the same time to avoid overloading the system.
