This change would also enable City Power to remotely limit electricity usage in households whose usage is higher than normal. [12] From 6 November 2023, City Power took over management of the load shedding schedule from Eskom. [13] From 10 June 2024, City Power implemented its own form of load shedding called load reduction. [14]
Power outages have reduced the potential size of the South African economy by approximately 20% since the inception of load shedding in 2007. [143] The costs associated with load shedding have led to an annual GDP reduction of 1 to 1.3% since 2007, with daily economic losses estimated between $85 million and $230 million for the country.

Julius Malema claimed that the shutdown helped reduce load shedding. [37] [38] However, the national power utility Eskom announced ahead of the protest a reduction of load shedding due to a decrease in demand. [39] In fact, 20 March was designated a special school holiday by the Department of Basic Education in 2022. [40]
The reason given was to separate powers between the legislative and executive bodies of the City. [19] Nonetheless, according to the opposition party, fraud, theft and non-payment still remained problems as of 2013.

A rolling blackout, also referred to as rota or rotational load shedding, rota disconnection, feeder rotation, or a rotating outage, is an intentionally engineered electrical power shutdown in which electricity delivery is stopped for non-overlapping periods of time over different parts of the distribution region.
Capacity factor is a measure of the output of a power plant compared to the maximum output it could produce. Capacity factor is often defined as the ratio of average load to capacity or the ratio of average load to peak load in a period of time. A higher load factor is advantageous because a power plant may be less efficient at low load factors ...
A clothes dryer using a demand response switch to reduce peak demand Daily load diagram; Blue shows real load usage and green shows ideal load.. Demand response is a change in the power consumption of an electric utility customer to better match the demand for power with the supply. [1]
A switched-mode power supply will be affected if the brownout voltage is lower than the minimum input voltage of the power supply. As the input voltage falls, the current draw will increase to maintain the same output voltage and current, until such a point that the power supply malfunctions or its under-voltage protection kicks in and disables ...
