ROTATIONAL SWITCH ON AFTER LOADSHEDDING
Consumers are reminded to PLEASE use electricity sparingly after power returns. Please do not switch high-usage equipment on immediately after Load shedding.

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.

Reporting power outages
Please do not phone the after-hours number or the Electrotechnical Department to report that you have no power immediately after load shedding is scheduled to be lifted. 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. Please wait at least 30 minutes before reporting no power. The Electrotechnical Directorate will be aware of a possible substation trip that needs to be sorted out.

Issued by George Municipality on behalf of ESKOM

Issued George Municipality, 1 December 2023

George Municipality wishes to inform residents in the Kraaibosch Area of a breakdown of the Sewer Pump station servicing the area. A contractor is currently on-site conducting repairs and suction trucks are managing to control the inflow, but we request the cooperation of these residents to minimize flow into the sewer network.

The estimated time to repair is 48 hours.

As indicated earlier this year, new pump sets to replace the existing pump set at the sewer pump station have been ordered. Due to arrive in October 2023, a shipping delay from abroad has moved the delivery period to January 2024.

We thank the public for their cooperation and patience in this regard, whilst we try to resolve this situation.

Due to the sustained improvement of the generation capacity with unplanned outages at 13 542MW, loadshedding will be reduced to Stage 2 from 10:00 today until 16:00.

Thereafter, Stage 3 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 until 05:00 on Sunday when loadshedding will be suspended from 05:00 until 16:00. On Sunday, Stage 3 loadshedding will resume from 16:00 until 05:00 on Monday. Eskom will communicate the update on the week ahead on Sunday afternoon.
