Important Load Shedding Information for Cape Town The load shedding schedule for City of Cape Town supply residents is currently at stage 3. Residents and suburbs may be affected at their indicated times, depending on the current demand from Eskom. If a customer’s electricity supply remains off for longer than the period specified in the schedules, they should please send an SMS to the City’s technical operations centre on 31220. In certain cases, the restoration of power results in what is known as ‘nuisance tripping’ which often goes unreported due to the assumption that the outage is due to the load shedding. The City regrets the inconvenience caused, but would like to assure residents that all areas are treated fairly, whether they are supplied by the City or by Eskom. Customers can do their part by switching off all non-essential appliances and by monitoring their usage. Residents are also requested to minimise water usage because in some instances water supply is reliant on electrical pumps. Please note that the constraints on the electricity supply are felt throughout the day during the summer months i.e. there is no ‘evening peak’. As such, responsible consumer practices should please be applied throughout the day. Please follow the link to find your area number on the map then refer to the tables below to look up the loadshedding dates and times. #loadshedding #eskom #cityofcapetown
