When Eskom experiences a generation capacity shortfall on the National Power grid, Load Shedding is immediately required in order to maintain national Network stability. During such an event, all Power Utilities are required to contribute to the national shortfall by reducing load in accordance with the National Load Shedding Plan.
In other words: Load-shedding and rolling blackouts can be introduced at any time with little or no notice.

During Stage 1 loadshedding Sol Plaatje Municipality ONLY shed geysers.

Schedules for Stage 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 loadshedding below.

Load shedding is not limited to the actual suburbs in this table.  All neighbourhoods serviced by the particular substation can be affected.
