Eskom Load-Shedding Schedule


There are two sheets:

  • Sheet one in the workbook being a static one that indicates all the levels and times of load shedding, dependent on the stage of load-shedding announced by Eskom.

  • The other is a schedule to the end of the year by actual date, and also by Stage that may be announced by Eskom.

  • For additional value we indicate the number of hours per day, the percentage of time during day and in the evening as well as showing you weekends in the formatting.of the dated sheet.

  • Simply scroll down on sheet to the 8 different load-shedding schedules


Notes:

  • We have taken great care in putting these sheets together, from confirmed and official Eskom sources, yet Eskom and Councils may alter and follow a different program, note also that although two hours are indicated Eskom adds 30 minutes on their time schedules to cater for reactivation of grids, thus all two hour blocks may be two hours and thirty minutes.

  • If you spot any errors, typos or others, let us know by email at theguy@thegotoguy.co.za :)
