Please do not switch high-usage equipment on immediately after load shedding.
Consumers are 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.
