Do you mean load shedding? This is a term used when there are forced power cuts. In many countries there is a shortage of power like in India. The power supply company works out a calender when they cut the power on certain days of the week for certain hours. This is done to save power. This is known as load shedding.
For example in a city in India Pune there is load shedding on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for two hours in the morning in certain areas.
