Eskom publishes another load-shedding update

Eskom reduces load-shedding at short notice — here is the new timetable

Eskom has announced it downgraded load-shedding to Stage 2 at 09:00 on Tuesday, 5 December 2023.

The rotational power cuts will then increase to Stage 3 at 16:00. The power utility had previously planned to implement Stage 3 load-shedding between 05:00 and 16:00 and Stage 4 from 16:00 onwards.

Doesn't really make sense, stage 2 today for it to remain at stage 3/4 tomorrow? Though I may not have power from them for 3 weeks. But hey they are the ones losing out on income.

Have you worked out your kWh genny costs yet? Keen to know when its cheaper than eskom. What % load are you running on it, or rather what is the most efficient load to run on a genny, 100%?

might as well be written on a cocktail napkin it changes so frequently.

80% is the most efficient at 100% you're chomping petrol. Currently Eskom is still cheaper it's about R9 per kWh on the gennie, but I do only run it for an hour or so to heat the geyser and maybe keep the load off the batteries, so 4.5kw for an hour at R42 for that time period.

Up and down and lots of lies from Eishkom

You are just getting to test the new stage 16 schedule

 

[Quicks]

Makes no difference the slots stay the same.

Far far worse then that, currently it's 24/7 no power at all

Makes no difference trying to follow it as it always changes on short notice. Just go with the flow. Then 2 weeks before the elections turn all the aircons on.
