[VooDooC]

Stage 6 by tomorrow, the power plants can't run if there's snow in Johannesburg

Must be a bug?
I have Stage 4 for now like Eskom Twitter says, but EsP has also added Stage 2 for tomorrow 5AM

A bug on Eskom's side. Either that or they're lying that it's only until tomorrow. Because Load Shedding Notifier also shows stage 4 for the rest of the week...

Stage 4 from 1pm till 5am wtf

Increased demand. Who didn't see that coming, with mutiple cold weather warnings? What does Minister Sparkles say now?

Snowing heavily here again, can't see the gate. Going to actually be snowed in at this rate lol

Also says Stage 2 for me on ESP from 5am tomorrow but Eskom hasn't made further announcements since the earlier one.

I guess they ran out of turbines much sooner than I expected.

 

[DarkSt0rm]

I suspect we will hit Stage 5/6 tonight, unless eskom decides to reduce the 2gw buffer

Guilty as charged. The office was 9.8 degrees inside this morning. Had the AC on full for most of the morning.

Mydorpie just giving a question mark after 5am tomorrow, they're not even guessing at normal S3 for nighttime then.

It's going to be very cold over the interior tomorrow morning (clear skies and frost), so demand will remain high for a few days.

Can someone send a volcano to JHB? Heard they need some heat

SO ESP had secret info...
I see they've moved the higher stage to two hours earlier than normal.

New theory

The coal is frozen -> loadshedding

Yup and back to the whole till 5am BS which really doesn't make sense
