Honda generators are well known for being silent and dependable. They are completely portable which means you can use them at your beach house, camping ground or city office.

Yamaha is one of the fastest growing producers of generators and will most certainly have a model that meets your needs. So there is absolutely no need to be left in the dark. Beat Eskom’s load shedding schedule with portable generators.

Electricity Load Shedding – Is there any Schedule?

Many people have been asking themselves and others this question since the last bouts of load shedding in 2010 which left many people literally in the dark for hours on end. Many just take it as a given that there will inevitably be load shedding and with the power supplier Eskom always hinting at the fact that South African’s should “brace themselves” many people are asking if there is scheduled load shedding or if it is just going to be random.

Although the question still remains: At the moment, Eskom has yet to release a load shedding schedule and instead has asked the South African public to try all the possible options to reduce electricity consumption and reduce the risk of load shedding. Eskom have stated that consumer behaviour would have a huge impact on how sever any potential power cuts would be. The power provider has also informed consumers that should there be any power cuts, that residential areas which includes homes and small businesses will bear the brunt of the interruptions as it this will not effect the country as much like it would if it were major industries bore the brunt. The reason for this is that the economy cannot afford to shutdown major industries for a few hours and let alone an extended period of time.

However this is not to say that there is no schedule at all for you to play your life around. Some cities have taken it upon themselves to communicate clearly any power outages that they have become aware of. Johannesburg City Power is one of the electricity authorities that has regularly updated it suburb by suburb schedule, however this has lead to mass confusion as they say there will be outages and no outages occurred.
