The reason we ask you to switch off your geyser between 5pm and 9pm, is that the country uses more electricity during this time and supply is under severe pressure. Switching off your geyser helps free up power for other things and relieves the pressure on the grid. Here’s an interesting fact, the huge demand for energy during the evening between 5pm and 9pm is the equivalent of one power station. There is an estimated 5,4 million electric geysers in homes across South Africa. 3YV GSQFMRIH GSRXVMFYXMSR QEOIW E WMKRM½GERX HMJJIVIRGI Switch off your geyser every day between 5pm and 9pm, and help us beat the peak to keep South Africa powered up.
