        What is the difference between load shedding and a power outage in Garners Drift?

        Load shedding is a planned, scheduled interruption of electricity supply by Eskom that is applied nationally to prevent the grid from being overloaded. It usually follows an announcment by Eskom and affects many areas at once. A power outage, on the other hand, is an unplanned loss of power due to faults, technical issues, weather, or damage to infrastructure, and can affect just your home or a small area.

        Ourpower closely tracks Eskom's load shedding announcements and updates the schedule on this site as soon as they are announced.
