Loadshedding

You may be aware that Cape Town is being affected by nationwide load-shedding and power outages can be expected from time to time.

Unfortunately load-shedding is out of our control but we apologise for any inconvenience.

When will you experience Load-Shedding?

Load-shedding status is made up of different stages, which can change frequently depending on system load. Visit this link to see the current stage: Cape Town Load Shedding

Load-shedding is hard to predict, stage announcements are typically made on very short notice, so it is important to be prepared. Load-shedding power outages generally last for about 2,5 hours, and depending on whether stage we’re in, you may be affected from once to 5 times a day.

The Cape Town area is split into zones. Kelvin Cottage is in zone 7.

Each zone has scheduled load-shedding, according to the date and stage we’re in. Check the relevant stage schedule, look at the date column, and search for your zone number. The time of the outage is in the left column. Zone Map and Schedule
