Eskom, not the Municipality, announces loadshedding, depending on supply vs demand at any given time consequently the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality is unable to predict with any certainty as to whether there will be loadshedding for the week-ending 14 December 2014.
However, given the situation over the last two weeks, it would be reasonable to expect that there could very well be loadshedding in this next week and the NMBM has worked out a schedule, should Eskom announce loadshedding.
The schedule makes provision for either Stage 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.
Each Group is equitably distributed so as to make the loadshedding schedule as fair as possible across days and time periods.
There are times (as on Friday) when Eskom will announce a change in Stage during the day. For example on Friday, Eskom announced Stage 2 at 08h00, then Stage 3 at 11h00. In such cases it may, of course, result in an unequitable spread over that day.
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 above)
- 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
