Load Shedding & Municipal Power: What You Can Control (and What You Can’t)

Load shedding is part of daily life for many South Africans, but sometimes what we assume is load shedding is actually a separate issue — a blown meter, a disconnection, or a faulty installation.

What’s Out of Your Hands:

• Scheduled Load Shedding (managed by Eskom or municipalities)
• Grid-wide faults or planned maintenance

What You Can Manage (With Help):

• Metering issues (faulty meters, overbilling, no reading)
• Power reconnections after disconnection
• New prepaid installations
• Upgrading or converting your power supply

At RML, we assist with:

• Logging and escalating faults
• Coordinating with City Power and Eskom
• Ensuring new installations and meter conversions happen properly and on time

Load shedding may be out of your control, but the rest doesn’t have to be. Let us help.
