Why do we experience load shedding


1 Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Load shedding happens when there is not enough electricity available to meet the demand of all customers, and an electricity (public) utility will interrupt the energy supply to certain areas. It is a last resort to balance electricity supply and demand. Most companies try to do it on the basis of load-shedding schedules to enable their customers to be better prepared in the event of load shedding, which is called rotational load shedding.
