The Municipality implemented Stage 1 load shedding as of 17h00 today, 05 May 2015.
This is due to a shortage of generation capacity as several units are currently out of service due to planned and unplanned outages.
Any additional changes on the already vulnerable and constrained power system could lead to a change in the stage of load shedding at short notice.
Customers are urged to reduce their consumption in order to reduce the severity of load shedding.
