Opsomming
"Lasvermindering" is 'n relatief onlangse vorm van onreëlmatige kragonderbrekings wat bo-en-behalwe beurtkrag toegepas word, in 'n poging deur Eskom om skuld in te vorder en onwettige gebruik stop te sit. In die proses word verskeie betalende eindgebruikers se elektrisiteitstoevoer vir ure aaneen gestaak. Dit is irrasioneel en onbillik.
Sakeliga onderneem hierdie hofsaak teen Eskom om verligting te bring vir besighede en ander betalende direkte eindgebruikers van Eskom wat al sedert 2021 gebuk gaan onder onwettige lasvermindering. Sakeliga vra die hof dat Eskom se lasverminderingsbeleid onwettig en ongrondwetlik verklaar word.
Summary
“Load reduction” is a relatively recent form of irregular power cuts that are applied over and above load shedding, in an effort by Eskom to recover debt and put and end to illegal consumption. In the process, the electricity supply of several paying end users is interrupted for hours on end. This is irrational and unfair.
Sakeliga is undertaking this case against Eskom to bring relief to businesses and other paying direct end users of Eskom who have been suffering from illegal load reduction since 2021. Sakeliga is asking the court to declare Eskom’s load reduction policy unlawful and unconstitutional.
