Most domestic users of electricity check how much electricity they use on a daily or monthly basis in rands and cents.

I don't.

I check in kW/h's.

We use 5,5 kWh per day on average. This has been the case for at least the last 4 years.

One would think that with the amount of loadshedding we been having in the last time, one's consumption should be less. Ours is not. My conclusion is that loadshedding me does not help the grid. We still use the same.

Has anyone found that there is a reduction in their consumption since loadshedding was introduced ?

I think we all adjust our usage around loadshedding schedules ie. We use a bit more outside of loadshedding times to make up for when the power is off.

What sayeth you ?
