The “Please Use Only What You Need” campaign aims to create awareness, educate, and
encourage participation among the residential and business sectors to use only
the electricity that they really need, and in so doing assist to relieve
pressure on the national electricity network.
The
overarching campaign message is “Please use only what you need"
and “Together, we can make a difference” and another objective is to avoid
or reduce load shedding as far as possible. Eskom will share the relevant electricity savings behavioural tips as well as
information on efficient technologies and appliances with customers to empower
them to effectively manage their own consumption.
Eskom
recognises that this campaign needs to be inclusive as it cannot do this alone.
The support from the South African residential and business sectors is crucial
to relieving pressure on the power grid and making this campaign a
success.
