How high will loadshedding get in June?

[bwana]

What's the highest stage of loadshedding we will be subjected to in June? Will we hit stage 5 as predicted by Chris Yelland or have we already experienced the peak (stage 2)?

NB: Votes are public this time around and cannot be changed

 

[Stuey74]

Stage 4, already a ""norm" to those who get shedded

 

[Herr der Verboten]

stage 666

 

[Prawnapple]

Just a sec..... thinking.... got it! It won't go above level 4! Damn I love my psychic powers

 

[grok]

What in the world happened to the graph in the results?

Working out those numbers..

 

[pinball wizard]

Um... Other...

 

[marbro]

How high is the increase they are looking for?

10%? 15?
that determines how much loadshedding we get

I'm more concerned about the failing substations in PE than load shedding itself. Hopefully the circuit breaker upgrades this month go as smoothly as possible...

 

[Brian_G]

I think they've been "preparing" for winter, and a quiet vote period... not expecting us to go past stage 3, and not for long.

Is there a prize for those who get it right? Maybe pre-paid electric coupons? ;- )

Ditchling? That's going to be August at least.

How high is the sky?
To quote Bachman-Turner Overdrive:
"You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"

You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet
Here's something that you're never gonna forget
B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet
Nothin' yet, you ain't been around

I predict Stage 4 but what is worse, especially in Johannesburg, is the almost complete inability of City Power to sort out faults.

Really High

As they say in the classics, as high as giraffe pussy.

 

[Creag]

Um... Other...

Would this be 'other' be grid collapse?

They were supposed to be preparing for winter in summer, they were taking down massive amounts for maintenance, glad that did so well.

Welcome to a first ass african city. Brought to you by the ANC.

Did it though... the 64 million smackaroos question...

Yeah I mean look it's only the first month of winter and we've had all days load shedded for us.
