Lights out until further notice — What Stage 16 load-shedding will look like

The National Rationalised Specifications Association describes stage 16 load-shedding as a controlled system shutdown at the customer end, with continuous power cuts around the clock.

The code aims to help Eskom and municipal distributors mitigate the impact of high load-shedding stages while preventing a grid collapse. Stages 9 to 11 use a combination of six and four-hour load-shedding sessions, with stage 12 comprising six-hour slots. In stage 12 load-shedding and lower, every load-shedding session has some form of break where power will be available.Under stage 15 load-shedding, South Africans will be subject to almost around-the-clock load-shedding, with a one or two-hour break at the start and end of the cycle.
