No plans to start load-shedding, but national energy effort needed: Cabinet
Cabinet has called for a "national effort" to reduce electricity use during this winter.
Briefing journalists in Pretoria on Thursday, two days after Cabinet's fortnightly meeting, Minister in the Presidency Collins Chabane said there were no plans to start power cuts.

I really challenge Eskom to advise how I must save more electricity. I have already replaced all light fittings and replaced my light bulbs with LED lights. My fridge and freezer are A+ rated. My dishwasher is A++ rated for consumption. My Washing machine is A+ rated. My PSU in my desktop is 80Plus Gold rated. I have a solar geyser, LED TV (guess what, A rated for consumption). I don't own a heater or electric blankets. So please Eskom, tell me how much more I need to save before you get your "house" in order.
