I see parts of Wilgeheuwel did not restore after the 2 to 4 loadshed session this morning. Apparently about 30 meters of cable was stolen and no contractors can be appointed as they have no cable in stock due to the high incidences of cable theft. Only expecting supplies of cable from tomorrow.:(

Yeah I saw that, it's like wtf really? Also of course no real updates from the Ward councillor for Ward 97, he'd be the reason a lot of people don't vote DA again.

Negative. We're on the Northriding Substation Tourmaline Distributor. They still trying to figure out how to fix it:

Northriding Substation Tourmaline Distributor: The team is working on two options to restore the power supply—

1️⃣ by repairing the existing cable that is currently being tested.

2️⃣, replace a line from a plant out of service to back feed customers.

So all they've effectively done is back-peddled, as usual, about going down to S2 nights from Wed. - now instead doing it from Saturday, and making themselves look good by starting the in-between stage a night earlier.

Lovely pit of snakes.

At least the end of daytime shedding is holding. For now
 
Best part for anyone who missed it;
"Due to an improvement in available generation capacity..."

Like they've somehow improved our lot by increasing the plan for nights from S2 to S3
Are many people really this thick?

Many people aren't paying close enough attention, even for ones without backup power.

Speculation is that it we might have power tomorrow now.

I do hope that is the case; as tomorrow looks cloudy.

Can never really base things on the weather, I mean one says its cloudy another says not. Will need to see tomorrow

Yeah, silly me, I didn't factor in the winter units coming back online improving the EAF.

Honestly, I thought @Priapus was the crazy one. At the beginning of winter, I would have definitely favoured you. I didn't think it'd be constant stage 6 LS, but I thought we'd have temporary bouts of Stage 8 LS at the very least.
