PLEASE NOTE
Eskom Western Cape will be implementing new load shedding schedules from 1 February 2015.
The new schedules will follow a four day rotational pattern. What this means is that over a four day pattern, customers will be shed in different times slots.
The new schedules will provide a balance between equity and predictability.
Customers should please treat all electrical installations as live for the full duration of the load shedding period.
Interpreting the new load shedding schedules :
1. Identify your area block number using the alphabetical list of the Eskom supply areas.
2. Identify the load shedding stage.
3. Look at the day of the month for the relevant stage declared.
4. Find your block number in the time slot that you will be shed in.
Stages of Load Shedding:
Stage 1 allows for up to 1000 MW of the national load to be shed.
Stage 2 allows for up to 2000 MW of the national load to be shed.
Stage 3a allows for up to 3000 MW of the national load to be shed
Stage 3b allows for up to 4000 MW of the national load to be shed.
