poweralert stage 2.....

[Lupus]

I'll do one better.
The light outside my place exploded into flames (not even exaggerating) and burnt the light casing.

Plastic smelling bonfire at 11PM was interesting.

It's been a year. Still no fixes.

Ouch sounds about right

 

[Lupus]

No loadshedding from 8am-4pm today.

Hmm seems suspicious... As soon as I get clear sunny days.

Ours all the way down the streets just released the blue smoke.

Also think it was earlier as I said didn't have shedding in the morning. So I really do know what KZN felt, I mean like one session every so often.

Nice!
Our office aircon does not run off the generator. Was preparing for a 8 to 10 slot now by upping the AC to 30 degrees before power goes out. First hour of load shedding is too hot, 2nd hour is too cold. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Not KZN, Port Shepstone got 10 hours a day just like you guys.

Did they? I mean they say they did, but did they ;-)

Those stubborn lost units finally came online

Could say I told you guys so but don't want to be nasty

Also seems they suspended load shedding again last night, I didn't go off from 2 to 4

We came back half an hour early at about 11:35

 

[Lupus]

The red, the red... WTF

Yeah telling you they suspended it earlier.

 

[Lupus]

Lets see, impressive numbers for today.



But that indicates at most stage 3 for tonight, but at most.

What about their 2GW reserve?

The all mythical reserve, judging by the numbers last night yeah stage 4 wasn't even needed then.

Probably ran out of diesel.

 

[Lupus]

Probably ran out of diesel.

Who knows, but seems they've not been hitting the diesel

All I can say, is that power alert has been looking a lot more positive in the last couple of days. Not as bleak sitting around 24GW

Now if they can just get it to 33GW and end loadshitting so the solar stuff can come down in price.

Strangely enough in the 3 years I've been tracking, I've not actually seen 33GW hit often.

Okay, whatever number is needed (32GW?) to end loadshitting.
