Only two hours load shedding for Cape Town tonight.

Only Zone 6: Durbanville, Tyger Valley area will be affected tonight.

 

[Drifter]

I see on Grid Watch we will be off from 18:00 - 20:30 in Vereeniging.

 

[Bismuth]

Yay, that will extend my commute by at least 30mins to 1hr.

Go Eskom..... NOT!!!

I see on Grid Watch we will be off from 18:00 - 20:30 in Vereeniging.

That's also my time slot for power outage, but only if Stage 3 is declared.

Yeah, that isn't going to happen. Stage 3 sounds good, but not going to happen.

 

[Drifter]

Our stage 3 is from 06:00 - 08:30 and then again from 14:00 to 16:30

 

[Surv0]

Not for Cape Town...

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

Well done CoCT as usual. Last night we had NO shedding during the allotted time...also because CoCT had their shizzle together. Love living here.

Where's that from? The style is similar to CoCT's website, but the text is different. It currently says "Stage 1 loadshedding will be between 18:00 and 20:30 only, due to spare generation capacity."

Power just went out Brooklyn.

If stage 1 or 2 I won't have load shedding at home

It's also from CoCT's website. They just made it a little bit more succinct since I took the screengrab.

I thought there might be some bias in the areas selected by CoCT, but the PowerAlert.co.za graph confirms that it is peak-time related: http://www.poweralert.co.za/poweralert5/index.php

... and power back. Thank goodness for the inverter

 

[SlowInternet]

We are having loadshedding since 6pm and we never have it at this time

 

[BigEars]

We are still on now and should have been off since 18H00. Other areas here are without power now
So no food for me tonight. Pizza place should of been able to deliver my Pizza...instead its off and closed. Wrong area.
