At least in CT, daytime and evening LS (up to 10pm) are still on point. No missed slots between 6am-10pm.So.. a test... we're meant to go off in half an hour - will we or won't we?
That's even weirder, why are they treating you guys differently?
Or maybe other muni's ignore Eskom some of the time, as @Lupus said your guys are too obedient.

They are entitled too, hence they have their own schedules. The requirements are they must reduce x demand from their contracted amount. How they juggle that is up to the muni's.But that would mean some of the Muni's are doing their own shed-skipping as well...
Makes some sense, except for 2 things...
1. Eskom stomps on CP's face if they try to implement any of that officially.
2. It's all happening at the same time country wide, then disappears at the same time, etc...

2 could just be a bug in common software used for switching/telemetry.
But the point stands, even chatting to the muni recently they are going to have to start doing the same for water ie: restriction amounts from the provider to the munis, in Durban's case Umngeni Water vs them. They are currently exceeding their contracted amounts but a lot of that is damages and wastage.
Agree there may be some sort of transitioning going on, but it's more than that.

You will, it's not between the hours of 5am and 10:50pm.So.. a test... we're meant to go off in half an hour - will we or won't we?
Correct today, but plenty of other days you will have been wrong.

Due to no availability of diesel for the generator, we've been running without generator backup.
At least we have sorted out the niggles with the PV system at work.
Holding up nicely.
As long as we do not go beyond stage 4, we should be good.

I guess, when we are reliant on imports only now with no refineries.

It's that time of the evening again...the curious case of the not quite 2-hour 10PM slot.
Update: Went off at 10pm as scheduled.

Definitely saving their diesel budget for those stage "6" events.
People are just so used to stage 4, so it makes sense. People only get unhappy when we get to stage 5+
