Here’s Eskom’s Gauteng load reduction schedule for the rest of the week
Six provinces remain load-reduction-free, with approximately 1.196 million customers removed from load reduction.
Eskom has announced a load reduction schedule for Gauteng over the remainder of the week, as the utility confirms South Africa has been free from loadshedding for over a year. Load reduction, introduced to protect electrical infrastructure and ensure safety, is limited to specific regions where the grid is overloaded.
On Wednesday, Block H will impact areas including Vereeniging, Sharpeville, Sebokeng Unit 3, and others, between 5am and 9am. The same time frame will see Block J affecting Orange Farm and adjacent regions. In the evening, from 5pm to 10pm, Block E will touch Mapetla, Protea South, and Chiawelo.
Thursday brings Block D running from 5am to 9am, affecting Rethabiseng, Kudube, and Moroka, followed by Block C between 5pm and 10pm, impacting Dobsonville and surrounding areas. Friday's load reduction starts at 5am with Block B, targeting Dube and surrounding suburbs, and continues until 10pm with Block J affecting Orange Farm and adjacent zones.
Saturday sees Block I running from 5am to 9am, covering Vosloorus and Mabuya Park areas, followed by Block H returning to operate between 5pm and 10pm in Vereeniging and Sharpeville. Sunday's schedule includes Block J affecting Orange Farm and surrounding areas from 5am to 9am, and Block G covering Tsakane and adjacent regions during the same window. Block F will then impact Lake District and Soweto areas between 5pm and 10pm.
Moving into next week, Monday will see Block A affecting Ivory Park and Kaalfontein areas from 5am to 9am, with Block B operating between 5pm and 10pm in Dube and surrounding suburbs.
