This will allow customers to continue with the minimal use of electricity for essential appliances such as lights, TVs, Wi-Fi routers, fridges and security systems,\u201d the power utility said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn hour before the start of load shedding, Eskom will prompt customers to reduce their consumption to 10 Amps by sending a message to their cellphone. The system will provide the customer with four opportunities to reduce their consumption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThereafter, if the load has not been reduced, the meter will automatically switch off the electricity supply for 30 minutes before the supply is restored.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eskom stressed that the project depends on the cooperation of Eskom and its customers, and the latter\u2019s willingness to reduce consumption below 10 Amps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
