Features of the new schedules are:

  1. In accordance with the national protocols: the schedules cover a 24-hour period; the schedules cover all seven days of the week and load-shedding time slots are either be 2 hours or 4 hours.
  2. Whenever there is a change in Loadshedding Stage, each escalated Stage is actually an extension of the previous Stage. For example, as you will see in the attached schedules, Stage 2 is an extension of Stage 1, Stage 3 an extension of Stage 2, and Stage 4 an extension of Stage 3.
  3. The half-hour added to the end of each time slot is to allow our technicians time for switching.  This must be done with a great degree of care and attention to detail, so as to ensure that the system remains intact.
  4. The new time slots are at odd-numbered hours (as opposed to previously even-numbered hours).  This is due to the reality that during the winter months the peak demand periods are from 07h00 to 09h00 in the morning, and from 17h00 to 19h00 in the evening.
  5. One now simply has to know one’s Group and plot it against any particular date – depending on what Stage of Load-shedding, one will easily be able to work out the various time-slots that are applicable for a particular Group on a particular day in the schedule.
  6. The schedules are also monthly.  So, for the period 6 July to 6 September 2015, there are just 2 schedules – if one is able to, print out the 2 schedules and stick them on one’s fridge or notice-board.
  7. The schedule follows an eight-day cycle, meaning that it repeats itself every ninth day. In the attached, one will see that each Group is shed the same number of times in the eight-day cycle: * Stage 1 (2 hour time slots): all Groups are shed 10 times in the cycle, and the Geysers 16 times; * Stage 2 (2 hour time slots): all Groups are shed 22 times in the cycle, and the Geysers 22 times; * Stage 3 (4 hour time slots): all Groups are shed 16 times in the cycle, and the Geysers 16 times; * Stage 4 (4 hour time slots): all Groups are shed 22 times in the cycle, and the Geysers 16 times.
