- Keep emergency lighting: During load shedding, it’s essential to have backup lighting. Invest in rechargeable flashlights or lanterns to keep your home lit during power outages.
- Plan your schedule: Plan your daily activities to minimise the inconvenience of load shedding. Prioritise important tasks and try to complete them when there’s electricity available.
- Stock up on essentials: Keep a stock of essential items such as batteries, candles, matches, and non-perishable food items to help you through load shedding.
- Use energy-efficient appliances: Switch to energy-efficient appliances like LED bulbs, solar-powered chargers, and battery-operated fans. These appliances can help reduce your energy consumption and minimise the impact of load shedding on your daily life.
- Keep your devices charged: Always keep your mobile phones, laptops, and other electronic devices fully charged for usage during load shedding. This will help you stay connected with the outside world and also keep you entertained during power outages.
