Load shedding (power interruptions) Load shedding means - to cut off some high power consuming products, when the demand of energy exceeds the total required supply of energy. Without this sanction, the whole power grid and generation plant will be in danger. This respects the national, the local (substations) and the particular (supply point m1 on suburbs, estates, buildings) supply side.
