poweralert stage 2.....

[pinball wizard]

Don't get your hopes up. A few weeks ago they left us alone for a week, then back to normal :- (

I used to live on the same street as the (then) anc Gauteng chair.

We never had power issues.

Good times.

Yeah, you morons because of load shifting...that's why your estimates are completely whacked. FFS.

Yup they've not put it together yet

 

[Lupus]

^^ Just hit us with the higher stage already.

If they do, demand will be even bigger

Was thinking about these dumb ****s and their messaging yesterday everning... was off 14-18 followed by 22-02, and the only 2 hours on from 2-4 then off again... and more 20-midnight later... so, the only time I can use geyser etc is during peak hours, I'm LS outside of peak

Yup that's load or demand shifting for you

While we were still hit

You're always hit. Must be 'cos they know you're the Axpert

This is true, currently in the second 4 hour of the day, guess where all my demand is going to be? I mean it's not like I could do it the normal time I would've.

I'll make sure to run both aircons tonight

I'll do my part and make sure every socket in my house has something plugged in and running

Actually came back 2 hours early
Nvm it went off again

Scuttlebutt has it that eskom ran out of diesel.

Will most probably confirm it tomorrow, but if it is true, we are screwed.

I don’t think we will ever see LS above stage 6 officially. Or at least not before the elections…

Officially yes. Unofficially substations won't come back after load shedding due to "high load causing tripping"...

Budget should carry them through to November/December iirc, so I'm guessing it's just a supply issue

Have you seen the city power twitter? Probably 1/3 of the city hasn't been restored after their slots lol, might not be such a crackpot theory at all

 

[pinball wizard]

Oh look. We skipped our 6-10 slot this morning as well.

This seems to be the usual result of the 4 hour sessions. Always an anxious wait to see if the power comes on.
