SAVE ELECTRICITY !!

This a very strange concept – AC Electricity cannot be efficiently stored & therefore cannot be “saved”
There is no National battery bank standing by to be used when demand exceeds supply. Electricity can only be generated and distributed. The only “saving” is to reduce demand there-by reducing generation and ultimately reducing the depletion of non renewable or expensive and dirty energy sources such as coal, oil, gas, diesel, petrol

ESKOM cannot currently supply/generate sufficient electricity to meet the demand
So lets look at ENERGY MANAGEMENT - ESKOM is asking us to manage, reduce or to control our personal usage so that they can supply enough to meet the reduced collective demand.
Soon they will be demanding that we do this & enforcing penalties if we don’t / won’t / can’t
