Load shedding 14 April

[MickZA]

Some folks get hit 3 times today. No power for 7,5 hours in a 16 hour period.

Note to PE members: I hope you are not in Groups 4 or 5.

Sigh, that's me.

... woke to the sound of birdsong drowned out by generators and it seems gennies will be the last thing I hear before drifting into the land of Nod tonight

Not very hande when they are wrong...

I think this is like the first mistake in like forever

 

[Thor]

PLUS we don't know if it is a mistake yet

 

[MickeyD]

So it's suspended until further notice

Nope. Cannot find any link to verify that.

I want to know how they loadshed the zones? My neigbourhood in Helderberg was down since ~04:30 and Bridgewater in Somerset West was down at 05:00. The power came back on at 08:20. The schedule is 06:00-08:30, somewhere someone is dishonest about this.

2.00pm-6.30pm

Taking it up the arse at exactly 8:00 when we wanted to open for business. It's cloudy so the solar is only running lights, stupid generator noisily powering the rest.

They probably think if they start sooner, they can stop stooner, and that they are helping you... but they aren't. once can plan when you know the times, if they change it, it's an issue.

Close ... plus I'm a fervent believer in a solid 8 hours a night - sleep that is

Eskom basically on its knees. Equates to the country basically being on its knees. When are Eskom's top management going to be tried for treason? Cause, that is basically what it equates to...

 

[PhireSide]

4pm and 10pm is extremely inconvenient for me.

I'm in the same boat

 

[scienide]

Was off this morning at work. Then will have power out this afternoon at home. So, happy with today's schedule. Lol

Only forces private citizens to heavily invest in alternate energy. Further placing strain on everyones disposable income

Just over an hour left before I get shedded.

I feel for those people that have 4hr shedding periods.

Sjoe, I can barely handle 2 hrs

Starting at 6 in the morning - Why do I get the feeling the state of the power is getting worse in South africa.

Probably because it is.

Also these schedules were clearly designed by idiots... there is not even a vague attempt to make them "fair"... certain areas just get nailed more than others.
