Had my 2 to 4 and my 10 to midnight last night, today it would be nice if we missed the 12 to 2 cause the schedule has shifted.

Clearly no set pattern, except for short periods. Maybe we're being made to play musical chairs :laugh:
 
Nice you guys missing slots.
We got switched off an hour early this morning only for the clowns to realise it and switch us back on half an hour later and then off at the correct time half an hour later.
 
We got skipped all the way from Sat morning till 6pm last night, but then we even had our 00:00 too 02am slot this morning. maybe someone complained or someone bragged at the wrong place.

Usually happens when the switching station needs repairs but they don't have materials, you get a good few days break then lol

Still think we have some bigshot or someone working for the switching team living in our area that can see when the city save enough and then we don't get shed. Every single time we have a unscheduled power out, even if its just 20-30min, the rest of the day we get skipped.
 
Had a terrible time of it last night - had loadshedding between 4-6 pm. Power came back at 6:05 pm. Went down at 6:11. Came back at around 7pm. Went down about 6 minutes later. Came back 7:49 and went down again at 7:56. Finally came on and stayed on at 8:35. Problem was the system tripped due to too much load. Everyone using power hungry appliances at the same time.

When we have Stage 6 and the power comes back on between 17:00-19:00 the town switches the power back, street by street.

This is how they prevent the tripping. This means that your power either comes on immediately after Stage 6 or you wait up to an hour more. They wait about 5 minutes per street.

Yeah, there's something in this.
Like the other day when we weren't shed for a full day... but I don't go into the details anymore, who knows what could trip things up..

Maybe CP is doing their own thing as well now though.

Trying to figure out why they would only do that with S6 :unsure:
Do you all "share" the schedule more when there's more frequent LS?

Sometimes when they fouled up here they made up for it within a day or two, but who would know now with the skipping

I'm pretty sure this is what CoJ are doing now. For a couple of weeks now we get restored at varying iterations of 10m gaps. Eg 30m before, 20m before, 10m before, on time, 10m later, up to around 60m late. It seems to be on a rotation as we were back to 30m early this morning. And now 20m early for our 10 to 12 slot

The entire town is on one schedule. When loadshedding hits, the whole town goes dark. It's actually pretty bad for crime reasons.
