JOHANNESBURG – Eskom has implemented load-shedding across South Africa. 

The process of reducing electricity demand is known as load-shedding.

INFOGRAPHIC: Load-shedding explained

The main load-shedding schedule can be found on Eskom’s site where you type in your suburb to find out if you are affected. 

If you don’t pay your electricity bill directly to Eskom but to a municipal electricity supplier like City Power in Johannesburg, you need to visit your city’s power utility website to get load-shedding information.
