– if Eskom declared Stage 1, this would mean he/she would be shed from 01:00 – 03:30
– if Eskom declared Stage 2, this would mean he/she would be shed from 01:00 – 03:30
– if Eskom declared Stage 3, this would mean he/she would be shed from 01:00 – 03:30 AND 17:00 – 19:30
– if Eskom declared Stage 4, this would mean he/she would be shed from 01:00 – 03:30 AND 09:00 – 11:30 AND 17:00 – 19:30
– if Eskom declared Stage 5, this would mean he/she would be shed from 01:00 – 05:30 AND 09:00 – 11:30 AND 17:00 – 19:30
– if Eskom declared Stage 6, this would mean he/she would be shed from 01:00 – 05:30 AND 09:00 – 11:30 AND 17:00 – 19:30

– if Eskom declared Stage 8, this would mean he/she would be shed from 01:00 – 05:30 AND 09:00 – 13:30 AND 17:00 – 21:30

Notes:

  1. ​The load shedding timetable starts when there is a formal announcement from Eskom
  2. To check what the position is of load shedding at any time, go to loadshedding.eskom.co.za
  3. This is a monthly time table for load shedding.
  4. Load shedding will begin with the declaration from Eskom. If you are scheduled from 16:00 to 18:30, but loadshedding is declared at 17h00, you will only be load shed from 17h00 to 18h30.
  5. If you are scheduled on a lower stage and a higher stage is declared, then your current time slot will be included in the higher stage
