What is Load Reduction?
Load reduction is different from load shedding. While load shedding affects all areas on a rotating schedule, load reduction specifically targets areas with high electricity losses due to illegal connections, meter tampering, and non-payment. Eskom implements load reduction to protect infrastructure and reduce technical losses.
In Ennerdale, load reduction typically lasts 2–4 hours during peak demand periods (early morning and evening). The schedule rotates between different blocks to distribute the impact.
How Long Does Load Reduction Last in Ennerdale?
Load reduction in Ennerdale is scheduled during two peak periods each day:
- Morning: 05h00 to 09h00 (up to 4 hours)
- Evening: 17h00 to 22h00 (up to 5 hours)
Not all blocks are affected every day. The schedule rotates so that different blocks are switched off on different days. Check the schedule above to see when Ennerdale is next affected.
