UPDATE: No loadshedding for today

“However, as a result of increased electricity demand in the evening and power stations’ units being on maintenance, the power system is expected to be constrained during the evening peak period (5pm to 9pm),” Eskom said.
“In winter the electricity demand peaks in the morning and evening as more electricity is used during these times.”
Eskom asked consumers to continue reducing electricity usage throughout the day and said people should be aware of the need to save more during peak periods, from 6am to 10am and 5pm to 9pm, despite the current cold weather conditions across the country.
Commercial customers, particularly shopping centres and office blocks, were urged to make “a big difference” by switching off non-essential lights and not leaving office equipment such as photocopiers and computers on standby mode after hours.
