ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
ANSWERS TO LOADSHEDDING QUESTIONS
Load shedding, or load reduction, is done countrywide as a controlled option to respond to unplanned events to protect the electricity power system from a total blackout.
Load shedding is a measure of last resort to prevent the collapse of the power system- country-wide. When there is insufficient power station capacity to supply the demand (load) from all the customers, the electricity system becomes unbalanced, which can cause it to trip out country-wide (a blackout). When power is insufficient, Eskom can thus either increase supply or reduce demand to bring the system back into balance.
Scheduled load shedding is controlled by way of sharing the available electricity among all its customers.
Eskom is a local power utility service provider.
Eskom generates approximately 95% of the electricity used in South Africa and approximately 45% of the electricity used in Africa.
Eskom’s mandate is to ensure security of electricity supply to service the South African economy and society.
Eskom therefore generates, transports and distributes electricity – and this is predominantly for the entire country.
Load shedding can occur at any time once instructed by Eskom based on the supply and demand of our current electricity supply.
Load shedding affects us the same way it affects everyone in South Africa. However, Shore2Please has put measures in place to alleviate the inconvenience.
