What is another word for load-shedding?
Pronunciation: [lˈə͡ʊdʃˈɛdɪŋ] (IPA) 
Load-shedding is a term primarily used in South Asia to refer to the deliberate shutdown of electricity in certain areas during periods of high energy demand. However, there are various synonyms for the term that are used in other regions of the world. Some of these synonyms include brownouts, rolling blackouts, power outages, and energy rationing. Brownouts refer to the reduction in voltage and frequency of electricity supplied to a region. Rolling blackouts are planned electricity outages that rotate through specific areas, while power outages are unexpected and unplanned disruptions to electricity supply. Energy rationing, on the other hand, involves limiting the amount of energy provided to individuals or households during peak usage periods.
