That will still be too much for eskom.Not bad at all. You can still run tv, lights and console or a gaming pc with some lights and other light appliances.
Much better than being switched off completely.

The changes are not linear, they speed up and slow down.We were looking at length of days for around the solstice period, really surprised to discover that it only changes about a second or two per day.
Really thought it would be a couple of minutes per day... must change more drastically at some later period, else it makes no sense
