Find your NMBM Loadshedding Group and Area Easily

I confess that trying to work out exactly which Group and Area I am in has been somewhat frustrating as a search for our area using the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality loadshedding documentation initially showed us as being in Group 6 and Area 17. We made plans based on this info only to have the time that we THOUGHT our electricity would be off to come and go.

And then we found out that our area is also listed as being in Group 7 and Area 19.

So logic says to me that an alphabetical searchable list of all the Port Elizabeth, Uitenhage and Despatch Groups and Areas would be far more useful – hit the dropdown below to quickly find out what Group and Area YOU are in.

To find out when your next loadshedding is likely to take place you need to ascertain the following:

What STAGE loadshedding is at: http://loadshedding.eskom.co.za/
Which AREA you are in in the NMB Municipality (use the handy dropdown below)
Check the loadshedding schedules as published on: http://www.nelsonmandelabay.gov.za/ (or refer to the 8 to 21 December 2014 schedules as below)
Then match the loadshedding stage (2,3,4) with your area to get the times you will be without electricity

Hit the dropdown and start typing in your suburb/district.

Load Shedding Schedules

The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality sets its own load shedding schedules and then activates those according to whichever stage Eskom declares for the day, week or month.

See the present loadshedding stage here: http://loadshedding.eskom.co.za/
