HOW DOES ESKOM REDUCE DEMAND ?

By Isolating different geographical areas from the grid, more commonly known as load shedding, resulting in Rolling Blackouts
This is easy for ESKOM - they remotely switch off areas until supply matches demand. There is no conscious thought as to what industries will be effected it is simply an instruction issued to an Operator 7 floors below in The “Mighty Duvha” power-station just outside Witbank, In all likelihood the operator probably has not even been to the town or area blinking with a red LED on the two story control panel in front of his/her operations desk
