What's the difference to what was already happening? Still sounds like stage 3 at night and stage 1 during the day.

 

[JustAsk]

Huh? What increase? Same thing.

Well we've had a few days of no shedding during the day.

I have also not had any but I remember a similar notice just a couple of days ago.

From the same guy nogal, today he posts the same thing and makes it sound like something different.

Isn't he the chap who was nominated for an award?

I now understand it's the nonsense of Eskom suspending it only to implement it again but I think it's annoying to say loadshedding is increasing while it's the same thing we've been having, we are pretty much continuing with the same intensity of loadshedding we were having, there is no increase.

I think they are just setting the scene because a couple of units have broken down, some delays in returning others and a big cold snap on its way......

Have you looked at the weather forecast (rhetorical question)? It's going to be vrek cold over most of the country by Sun 9th. And I expect peak evening load shedding a few stages higher on Mon 10th (see poweralert thread).
