Here is a possible hypothesis based on load shedding:
frequent load shedding episodes lead to increased frustration and dissatisfaction among the public due to disruption in essential services and daily life.
This hypothesis suggests that the lack of uninterrupted and reliable power supply due to repeated load shedding can negatively impact the well-being, productivity and morale of the public. The frequent disruption in supply causes inconvenience, hampers work and studies, deteriorates quality of life and damages the trust in the service providers. Thus, load shedding has significant hidden costs beyond the actual electricity not consumed.
Does this hypothesis sound reasonable or would you like any modifications to it? I can generate additional hypotheses as well based on different perspectives regarding load shedding.
