Last week, the City of Johannesburg’s power utility, City Power, announced the indefinite suspension of load reduction, effective immediately.
However, this reprieve only applies to areas serviced by City Power, while those directly serviced by Eskom continued to experience load reduction.
According to City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena, the suspension is not a permanent guarantee, and load reduction may be reinstated if there’s a significant surge in electricity consumption, illegal connections, or meter tampering.
In other words, while City Power customers enjoy a break from load reduction, the utility reserves the right to reintroduce it if necessary to manage electricity demand.
