BALANCING SUPPLY & DEMAND
Load shedding is likely to occur when demand exceeds supply.
The power system has been operating at its limit in order to
undertake as much maintenance as possible.
Currently, many Base Load Stations must be taken out of
service for essential maintenance. This lowers the available
supply, thus increasing the likelihood of load shedding.

WINTER AND SUMMER ELECTRICITY PROFILE
The load profile for summer and winter is different. This means that the national power system will be particularly strained
during the evening peak between 5pm and 9pm in winter, and any time of the day in the summer months.
IN WINTER, LOAD SHEDDING COULD HAPPEN DURING THE PEAK BETWEEN 5PM - 9PM
BUT MOST LIKELY BETWEEN 5:30PM - 6:30PM

BASE LOADBase Load Stations
operate continuously &
at a steady load (most
efficient stations).

ABOUT LOAD SHEDDING
When there is not enough supply capacity available to meet the demand
from all customers, it could be necessary to interrupt power supply at
certain times, to certain areas.
If your supply is interrupted without notice of load shedding, or not as per
your load shedding schedule, it is more likely that the outage is caused by
other reasons, for example: cable theft or technical problems.
Load shedding is only applied when all other voluntary & contracted
demand reduction has been exhausted in order to avoid a total collapse of
the electricity supply grid (a national blackout). By rotating and shedding
the load in a planned and controlled manner, the system remains stable.
If load shedding is required, the National System Operator instructs its
stakeholders on the stage that is to be shed. The duration of load
shedding will depend on the specific supplier, region and circumstances.
WHAT IS LOAD SHEDDING?
SOME SITUATIONS THAT MAY RESULT IN LOAD SHEDDING:
CRITICAL LOADS THAT ARE PROTECTED
Critical loads are loads that are protected from load shedding because they either maintain
the operational integrity of the power system or impact on public infrastructure. Protection
measures include the exclusion from load shedding schedules, installation of backup
facilities, or implementation os specific protocols for interaction between the customers and
the licensee.

www.eiug.org.za
HOW DOES THE SYSTEM OPERATOR RESPOND?
All available generation.
Contracted and voluntary demand reduction options with large customers.
If all these options have been exhausted and demand still cannot be met, the National System
Operator will proceed with load shedding.
