THESE are the schedules for proposed loadshedding - when needed - for the various areas around Johannesburg. The loadshedding plan, drawn up by the City of Johannesburg, electricity utility City Power and Eskom, is based on:

• Power cuts of a longer duration but less frequent
• Equity (all customers included)
• Ensuring a high degree of certainty for customers (predictability)
• Combining both City Power and Eskom supply areas around Johannesburg
• Ensuring a minimal disruption of major transport corridors
• Minimising traffic congestion
• Improving communication and customer understanding
• Recording all actual load shedding in order to ensure equity in the long run
• Reviewing these plans monthly
