I can hear generators and on twitter you can see many people complaining in the radio kop Wilgeheuwel areas

Oh my genny joined the choir, bloody clouds.

 

[DarkSt0rm]

Donno about him

But my power was off 14h00-16h20, and gone again at 18h10....
So who knows when and if it returns.

Not tonight that's for sure, no more night work unless it's a whole block

Worst is dont even know what block I am suppose to be in since they moved me a couple of weeks back cause I can't find any pattern.

So its just luck of the draw stages in my area, I score bonus stages all the time.

Edit: have no idea how the other people without back-up cope.

Yeah but those normally have 4 hours of power in between the slots, not 1 or 2.

Even the City of Cape Town has now lost the plot. We were supposed to be off between 10am and 2pm for a 4 hour slot but lights still burning brightly. Our schedules usually run like clockwork.

But coal is such reliable baseload /s

In all seriousness, this is going to push the decentralisation of energy hardcore in SA. No-one is going to trust one entity with their power requirements.

Apart from raising people's blood pressure and stress levels, I don't see any purpose in picking part these graphs anymore.

Here's what people need to know:

Eskom is dying.
Plan around getting decreasing amounts of electricity from it.
Get your own power.
