Load shedding vs load reduction – differences explained

Eskom has implemented load reduction in seven provinces in South Africa - but it has stressed that this is not the return of load shedding. Here's the difference.

Yes, as long as its not the WC its fine.

All you land lubbers can figure this out the hard way.

EDIT: City of Cape Town - not Western Cape.

Load shedding = No electricity
Load reduction = No electricity

Same, same.

 

[porchrat]

Load shedding = No electricity for everybody, everywhere at regular intervals throughout the day
Load reduction = No electricity for areas with illegal connection at peak times

Not same, same.

FTFY

Load shedding = No electricity
Load reduction = No electricity

Yes, like I am going to care if I sit without electricity because of loadshedding or load reduction. I will still be sitting without electricity!

So one way or another Eskom is useless regardless of the excuse and the Economy can't grow because of kak excuses left right and centre. If you run a business and don't know if you going to have electricity or not to operate?

But some little cnt would rather call you a 30%er and explain sorry this is not load shedding, but load reduction that's why you can't operate your business today.

Is your business in an area that is marked for load reduction?

Is your business in an area of high illegal connections and frequent power trips due to overload transformers? If so move, if not... It will be fine.
The difference between load reduction and load shedding, one is punishment for those that don't pay, the other is for everyone.

Brilliant opportunity to also include Load Curtailment in the comparative explanation missed.
