⚠️ Public Announcement for South Africa Businesspeople: Prepare for a 30% Production Cut During High Stages of Load Shedding! ⚠️

City Power has announced a critical measure to safeguard our energy grid and prioritize essential services—especially healthcare facilities.

To reduce strain on the system during high stages of rolling blackouts, businesses are being advised to cut production by 30 percent.

While this directive presents operational challenges, it also opens opportunities for innovation, resilience, and community support.

Here’s how businesses can adapt:

💡 Optimize Operations: Review your processes and identify non-essential activities that can be temporarily reduced or paused.

🚦 Shift Schedules: Implement flexible working hours or night shifts to take advantage of off-peak power availability.

⚙️ Automate & Innovate: Invest in energy-efficient technologies and explore alternative power solutions, such as solar and battery storage.

🤝 Collaborate & Communicate: Keep your teams and stakeholders informed and engaged. Share your contingency plans and build collective resilience.

🌍 Support Healthcare & Critical Services: If your business can, consider offering support to healthcare facilities and other essential services during this time.

Our ability to adapt and support the greater community will define us.

Let’s turn this challenge into an opportunity to strengthen our businesses, , and lead with purpose.
