RURAFLEX LOW DEMAND SEASON
From 1 September, Eskom’s Ruraflex Time-of-Use periods move into the Low Demand Season.
For energy-intensive businesses, this is a good time to review your operating schedules and identify opportunities to shift flexible electricity consumption away from Peak periods.
The difference can be significant:
🔴 High Demand Season: R8.24/kWh Peak
🟢 Low Demand Season: R3.87/kWh Peak
Consider reviewing the timing of:
⚙️ Pumps
❄️ Refrigeration
🏭 Processing equipment
🔋 Battery charging
⚡ Other flexible loads
