Load-shedding relief before the weekend

[Lupus]

They were supposed to announce it by 4pm

Maybe it'll be 5pm who knows sadly

Looking at power alert it says so still

No change here either... but Eskom's running a bit fast... 50.1Hz most of today. Voltage is also high.. 245V

Voltage means squat, mine has been at 234 most of the day, but 50.1 is well within tolerance.

I told my wife, Stage 4 this morning, so yeah, I am suspecting as much.
In any case, for what it is worth, I received orders for more inverters. So I am making some money at least. Need to go do an install at a studio on the weekend...

Just use loadshedding notifier... no need to muck about with twitter directly.

Thanks

Those who don't want Twitter at all, these guys have been reliable: https://mydorpie.com/Load-Shedding/South-Africa/Eskom-and-Municipal-Schedules

And they offer a Telegram alert service.

With all due respect, the last time I was near any social media, I ended up in a mental health facility, so the answer is no.

Eskom load-shedding reprieve

Eskom has confirmed its load-shedding schedule changes for the rest of the week.

I'm no social media user either, but maybe you should reconsider being here, sure you know it can be just as extreme. In some respects anyway, I gather issues are researched a lot better here.

ESP works just fine. No need for twatter or anything else.

Load-shedding causes generator-sex. I have no idea how it is but I know it is very noisy!
