Receive Eskom load-shedding notifications by downloading the free EskomSePush app from Google Play Store at https://sepush.co.za/ or directly from Eskom's website.

Please do not switch high-usage equipment on immediately after load-shedding. Consumers are therefore urged to turn off high-usage equipment and where possible to not switch on appliances such as stoves and kettles for at least 30 minutes after load-shedding.

This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network and reduce high MVA spikes.
