Update from eThekwini Municipality:
To enable our teams to prepare the system for the new schedule which starts tomorrow, load-shedding has been suspended in eThekwini for today ONLY.
This relief was agreed to by the System Operator to allow the city to re-configure its automated Load-Shedding System for the new schedule to become effective on 25 May 2023.
Residents are urged to switch off all high-load appliances like geysers, stoves, heaters, air-conditioners and pool pumps during power outages and stagger switching them on once power returns. This is especially critical in those suburbs that suffer from frequent overload trips on return of power after load-shedding.
Everyone is urged to reduce power consumption.
