POWER OUTAGES
Please note that power outages, also known as Load shedding, may occur during your stay with us.
What is Load shedding? When the demand for electricity exceeds the available supply, planned supply interruptions may be carried out by the utility supplier, Eskom. It is a controlled way of rotating the available electricity among all Eskom customers. Affected areas are not interrupted for more than two hours at a time in accordance with the Load shedding schedule as set out by Eskom. Because Eskom implements load shedding at random, we are unable to provide you with a current schedule. Below are two ways for you to be aware and prepared for any current and/or impending load shedding at any given time.
Option 1: Go to Eskom website
To view the schedule, see www.loadshedding.eskom.co.za
Select Province: Western Cape
Select Municipality: Bitou
Select Suburb: Plettenberg Bay
Option 2: Download a free application (app) that allows users to view what areas will be affected by power outages that day. During load shedding, or when there has been a change to the load shedding schedule, the app will send users push notifications.
To download app go to app store and type in: EskomSePush
Here is the link to iOS & Google Play Store
Select: Install
Once downloaded select: Open
