Eight million smart meters in homes, coupled with solar geysers, will reduce electricity demand

Stage 2 loadshedding is in effect until 16:00 thereafter, Stage 3 will come into effect.

Some Eskom customers in Gauteng experienced glitches during the pilot project of the utility’s new load-limiting glitches on Tuesday night.

Demand side management with a difference.

Eskom will still have to mitigate the amount of sulphur dioxide and other emissions it pumps into the atmosphere.

There’s a new phrase in the SA lexicon and although it is still early days, it may be a workable solution to mitigating load shedding.

The aim of Eskom's pilot is to manage and optimise the supply-and-demand side during lower stages of load shedding.

Eskom announced that it implemented a pilot project to reduce electricity usage at some customers with smart meters.

Condolences have been pouring in for veteran community activist Sally Mphifi Motlana who died at the Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg on Saturday.

Load Limiting will ask customers to reduce their consumption in order to avoid loadshedding.
