Please note that the information contained in this section are made up of a combination of links to municipalities or metros that provide their own schedules, and in some instances loadshedding scheduled developed by Eskom for certain areas or municipalities. The example below are for a municipality supplied directly by Eskom.

For power outages unrelated to load-shedding: Please consult the City's @CityofCTAlerts Twitter feed for updates on scheduled maintenance outages as well as unscheduled power outages.

If a power outage is not listed, please report the fault by submitting a service request or contacting the Call Centre on 0860 103 089. Our Electricity Department will attend to the matter and restore power as soon as possible.

Load shedding status

We are currently not Load Shedding due to high demand or urgent maintenance being performed at certain power stations. To determine the time/s that you will be affected, please view the Schedule for your area. However, if you are an Eskom customer and do not have power, please register on our App to log your fault: Click here to download the Android or OR iOS version of the App.

Loadshedding is when Eskom, South Africa's national power company, temporarily cuts off electricity to various areas to manage a shortage in energy supply. Simply put, there isn't enough power to go around.

In order to reduce demand at any given time, different neighbourhoods across the country take turns having no electricity according to the eskom loadshedding schedule. For instance, one area might lose power from 8am-10am, and another from 10am-12pm. The frequency and duration depend on the severity of the shortage, categorized into loadshedding stages 1 to 8. The higher the stage, the more often the outages.

Loadshedding is the result of challenges our national power grid has faced over the years. Delayed maintenance, slow-paced new energy developments, hiccups in starting new power plants, crime and corruption have led to a strained power supply.

The increase in loadshedding since September 2023 is significantly influenced by Eskom's ramped-up planned maintenance schedule. During the summer months, they take approximately 6,000MW offline, double the 3,000MW in winter. This can lead to an additional three stages of loadshedding. However, it's worth noting that consumer demand typically drops during these warmer months, offsetting some of the impact. While this heightened maintenance might intensify loadshedding in the immediate term, it is a vital step towards revitalizing our power infrastructure. This proactive approach is poised to enhance the power system's reliability and reduce loadshedding in the long run.

The predictability of Eskom's fleet remains a challenge. While some energy experts are optimistic that loadshedding could conclude by the end of 2024, others foresee a more extended timeline. The good news is that both Eskom and the government are now prioritizing the issue, taking it more seriously than they have in the years past.

Several positive steps are on the horizon. Repairs at Kusile are in progress, with phased reactivation planned between September and December. If successful, this could alleviate around three stages of loadshedding. Additionally, the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, currently undergoing vital maintenance and contributing one stage of loadshedding, is set to be fully operational by mid-2024. Beyond these specific projects, intensified maintenance efforts across the board, combined with escalating private investment in energy infrastructure and the debut of new energy projects, suggest that 2024 could see a significant reduction in loadshedding.

I think you can remove the last line, that's just to show you the output. your schedule information is in 'dataset' already. You'd take that data stored in 'dataset'. Loop through it and write it into SQL. I don't have an example on hand, but maybe have a look at this. There seems to be many examples of writing a dataset into SQL on the forums

In the data row 86 it goes over midnight. The load shedding normally last 2.5 hours.

Even if they overlap it would be 13:00-15:30 then 15:00-16:30. (Stage 5 the over lapping starts)

Could it be possible just to add 2.5 hours to the start time for the end time.

Triggered when the pool pool pump is switched on, the automation checks to see if my area is currently load shedding and if so, turns off my pool pump. This is on the chance we move to a higher load shedding stage and the pool pump is scheduled to switch on during load shedding (bypassing the first and second automations).

The GPA crews are doing an outstanding job! There must be some problems with other management levels. Load shedding is a problem for high functioning parts of the population. Push it up later into evening and night please after dinner is served and showers were taken.

A load shedding schedule is a vital tool that can help you plan your daily life during power outages. When the power grid goes down due to load shedding, it can disrupt your routine, and cause inconvenience and delays. With a load shedding schedule, you can be more prepared, and know when to expect power cuts, so that you can adjust your plans accordingly.

Load shedding schedules are especially useful for businesses and organizations, as they can help you manage your operations and minimize the impact of power outages on your productivity. Knowing when the power is going to be cut off allows you to make alternative arrangements, such as using backup inverters, rescheduling meetings and appointments, or even planning for remote work.

Moreover, load shedding schedules can help reduce the anxiety and stress associated with power outages. By having a clear understanding of when the power will be restored, you can plan your daily activities accordingly, and focus on the tasks at hand, rather than worrying about when the power will come back on.

Navigating load shedding is a necessary reality. This is best achieved by utilizing a load shedding map, a visual tool detailing the specific regions and times affected by power outages, enabling you to strategize and prevent interruptions in your daily schedule.

Loadshedding.com provides users with real-time updates on the load shedding schedule for their specific area, allowing them to plan ahead and prepare for power cuts. Loadshedding.com also offers tips and advice on how to conserve energy during load shedding, as well as provide information on backup power solutions, such as inverters, generators or solar panels. With features such as notifications, location search and the latest news, loadshedding.com can help users stay informed and reduce the inconvenience of power cuts. Whether you are at home, work, or on the go, loadshedding.com is a useful tool to have during times of electricity shortage.

I am clearly doing something wrong as from postman i can get the area ID and schedule but in HA template tester it says no events in attributes, but in postman i see the events element in the JSON file
