De Ruyter may be in a different country but his influence knows no bounds, it transcends borders and defies limits

Holy moly this is going to be brutal.
With the 1.5h gaps between slots and them turning blocks on late, City Power is going to derail completely this weekend.
 
You know what... I think I prefer our "on 2 hours off 2 hours" dance at stage 6 than solid 4-hour blocks with a few hours until the next 4-hour block, assuming nothing blows up of course, I also only have 10 hours of outages instead of 12 now :)

It was already taking a toll on infrastructure. Increasing the frequency of switching substations off/on is just going to make it worse...

Maybe with the reworked areas, it will generally be better with a few outliers that need to be addressed, but hey I woke up in an unusually positive mood this morning, meds must be working lol

Yeah I suspect 24 hours+ without power for a lot of areas... Mine included

Actually it's pretty much what we had with their previous frak up to be honest. 2 hours off, 2 hours on for a total of 8 hours a day, in fact tomorrow is a vast improvement at stage 6 then my stage 4 was on Wednesday.

Well the original 4 hour block ones would've been 11.5 hours in total, with the new stage 6 it could be 12.5 hours, 5x2 plus 5x30minutes for the restoration
 
Poweralert has updated, but doesn't indicate the need for stage 6, there really is something else going on
