Loadshedding not happening per schedule sometimes

[Solitude]

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.

Thats nothing, my 18h00-20h00 last night was

17h55 - still off

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.

I saw later it was only certain sections that went off for a second time.

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

Yeah, they did apparently fix it after 9?

Yep came back on just after 9. I think they are busy testing "Bonus Shedding"...

Nah knowing this area, it tripped due to overload.

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.

I wish this dude kept updated with the actual schedule.

He is, the problem is I wish he could tell the difference between 11 and 15

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?
