Load shedding will hit today

Power utility Eskom has announced that stage one load shedding will be in effect on Thursday (29 November) between 12h00 and 22h00.

That would be so wonderful on top of the power outage we had from before 6am till 11am this morning ..

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

PLEASE NOTE
Loadshedding stage 1 from 12:00 - 22:00 today.

City of Cape Town will NOT shed load due to spare generation capacity.

 

[Ockie]

Fck my life. According to City Power parkhurst to be shed from 16:00 - 20:30 today on Stage 1.

Guess I will be getting take aways on my way home and popping a sleeping tablet tonight.

We encourage residents and businesses to please use electricity sparingly to ease the demand.

But in the same breath they moan about declining demand affecting their profits:

Eskom is struggling with high debt and declining demand as it takes steps to emerge from multiple scandals involving graft and mismanagement.

I bet it's more of a declining demand from paying customers.

You lay in bed and drink? Where do you keep the ice?

Campchair on the lawn, battery operated LED floodlights. Ice? I have my whiskey with luke-warm water.

 

[Lew Skannen]

Damn!

And just this morning I saw a newspaper article stating that Eskom said that possibility of load shedding for the rest of the year remains low.
