Load Shedding Schedule For Today – Expect the Unexpected
Whilst it’s helpful to know your load shedding schedule for today, it’s also wise to keep an eye out for any updates.
This is because the situation can often change without much notice which can result in either good or bad news.
- For instance Eskom could suddenly announce that Stage 2 load shedding has been downgraded or suspended altogether, which would be the good news.
- However, when the system is further restrained, Eskom can announce an upgrade from Stage 2 to Stage 3, for example, which will continue until more generating units come back on line, which would be bad news.
Therefore, always keep up to date with the latest load shedding schedule for today to avoid being inconvenienced anymore than necessary.

Lastly, by planning your day around the load shedding schedule together with these easy load shedding solutions, you will be able to minimise the impact of continual power cuts significantly with minimal disruptions to your lifestyle.
Forget Load Shedding – Set Up Your Own Home Solar Power System
To have your own solar powered system generating electricity for your home is something that most South Africans should be thinking about as it doesn’t look like there’s a silver bullet coming to rescue us from this diabolical situation.
Furthermore, in the face of the government’s inability to create new power generation, it looks as though we’re faced with many years of living by the latest load shedding schedule just to try and survive without power.
To survive the future we’ll have to provide our own power generation with solar which will ultimately be cheaper and more reliable.
Be proactive and start comparing the price of solar panels in South Africa now,.
The Bottom Line On Load Shedding
Good news is that a peak in rising US interest rates should see a slowing dollar, which would benefit emerging markets like South Africa.
However…
- Will 2023 see some sort of resolution in Ukraine?
- Will China loosen Covid restrictions?
- And what will SA look like politically with the ANC Elective Conference behind us?
We can’t be sure how any of the above will pan out for us…
But the one thing we can be sure of, is that Load Shedding will be part of our lives in 2023 with a total grid collapse a distinct possibility.
Therefore the only option, for those who can afford the outlay, is to equip your home with a solar powered solution.
- However, there’s a cheaper option to conventional roof-mounted PV panels…
- By building your own 3D Solar Tower you’ll use fewer PV panels and resulting in a higher power output.
- Take a look at how it compares to the traditional solar option and how this 3D solar panel tower works.
Lastly, whatever option you choose, make it work – don’t do nothing as you’ll be left in the dark.
