Eskom has warned that it will implement load reduction in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), Free State, North West and the Northern Cape on Sunday, 24 April.
The load reduction will be in place during peak hours from 17:00 until 22:00 at most.
Eskom said load reduction will be implemented to avoid overloading its network and damage to its infrastructure in high-density areas that are prone to network overloading.
“Overloading of networks leads to damage to the electricity infrastructure through explosions in overloaded transformers and mini-substations.
“It also poses danger to people and property in the affected communities. Currently, Eskom is battling to keep up with the increased equipment failure that is costing millions to repair.”
