Loadshedding will be reduced to Stage 2 from 12:00 today and suspended at 05:00 on Friday

I'm also load shedding tonight. Gonna shed a load on some unlucky girls face.

[quoteWe unfortunately do expect the load shedding stage to escalate into the weekend but this can only be confirmed once we have a better understanding of these problems and when it is likely to be resolved.

Prepare for loadshedding the entire weekend. This tweet pretty much confirms it.

Pretty much gathered that considering they gave no end date

The conveyor belts supplying these units are currently not running due to a power fault. No coal is reaching the station at this point.

At least we now know they do load shed themselves too

Higher stages over a weekend is worrying, although they are probably doing it to save on diesel costs rather than being unable to meet demand on weekends. But it still sucks.

That is bad, even the numbers from last night weren't promising, but as usual Eskom gave us 2 load shedding free days, yaaaah.

You would think producing electricity is a new thing and they are still trying to get the hang of it.

 

[dualmeister]

Was planning to braai anyway

CoCT protecting it's customers until 18:00 after which it will be stage 1 until 22:00, then stage 2 until the circus is over

Guys, don't stress. Thank heavens the ANC is the only political party that can fix Eskom. Thank the voters for continually voting for them.

(Fixing could mean: fixing it and "unbreaking" what they broke; "fixing" it as in getting more cash from it...they never quite defined that statement, did they?)

Maybe it is just your sub station going wonky
