Unfortunately, we are unable to provide information on the cost of diesel under each of the different stages of load shedding; however, we are able to advise that it costs MUT approximately R123 026 per month when generators are used during load shedding. This is based on the load shedding on 2 hours per day. |

It’s difficult for the Rhodes University to show the spend per Stage of loadshedding. We can however show the spend on diesel for the year. It is evident that as the year progressed and the stages increased, the spend on diesel increased substantially.

UNISA does do not keep track of expenditure per stage of loadshedding and is therefore not able to provide data in that format. Expenditure schedule attached. |

The University of Zululand does not have many generators. We, therefore, do not have an astronomical diesel account for load shedding, but the reality is that we are in dire need of generators and a budget for diesel for the generators if the load shedding is going to continue as is. |
