The bolded coordinating conjunction "so" in the sentence "Grant was expecting loadshedding, so he charged all his devices beforehand" serves the function of **to show consequence**. It indicates that Grant’s action of charging his devices was a result of his expectation of loadshedding; in other words, his preparation (charging devices) was a consequence of his anticipation of a power outage.
