Loadshedding not happening per schedule sometimes

It makes me so angry. It happened on Wednesday when they switched us off, like it it was stage 4 even though we were downgraded to stage 3. And this morning again. Went off like it was supposed to for stage 4 but we are on stage 3. Argh!!!!

Just follow the CityPower tweets with the most replies to find how they can't follow the schedule.

I think they're calling it "rotational" load shedding because the dart board they use to decide which areas to switch off is round.
 
City Power has stuffed block 11 again. Not supposed to go off at 6am but it did. Then they put it on again and it tripped everywhere after a minute.:X3::mad:
 
Yesterday our 4-6:30pm scheduled load shedding only happened at 4:45 till 6:05pm.
 
Most places in CT still getting things like one 2 hour loadshedding a day, while the rest of country suffers. Classic.

We experienced that 2 weeks ago when load shedding schedule was 6-8pm and power came back at 8pm for 5min then never returned because some substation tripped.
Power was restored the next day at 9am.

I was working night shift and my Generator worked flawlessly for 12 hours straight with no issues.

Not everywhere, I came back up no worries.

The other day they flicked the power on and off probably 7 times in the space of 20 mins before finally cutting the power.

Really annoying.

Great for electronic equipment
 
keep in mind that most of the load shedding isnt automated. there is literally a dude heading to the sub station and cutting the power. yes, it's that lame. the original systems designers could never have imagined such cray times

Yup was honestly shocked to find this out, I thought it was a joke.
 
Power was supposed to be out from 12 - 2:30pm however it is still here, Does this mean it will still go out or can i do my ish in peace?
