Been happening since 2007.

It was a slow trend. Stage 6 means that trend will get serious movement.

I work at a distributor and stage 6 is destroying the likes of retail stores, they use to carry 6 to 8 weeks stock, now they carrying 4 weeks max due to unexpected costs ... Not to mention the amount of stores like Clicks who just close during loadshedding, meaning sales decrease... We have been seeing the affects, Dis-Chem who has generators is performing how it should but other channels that close are doing really bad...

That's impossible. The app only goes to stage 8.

My prediction: stage 8 LS with stage eleventy LC.

 

[DarkSt0rm]

We should get a set of DnD dice made to predict loadshedding at this point hehe

What about Eskom Se Push? but sure, I agree, there is not much more benefit shitting the metros any more than they already are, it's time for the big boys to start suffering and making government's life a living hell. I mean, really, how much are they saving shitting me at 4am when my fan stops, what is that 20W?

Yup when base still sits at 20GW cause all the big boys are still running

It won't go past 6, but not because they've clicked. It will just be stage whatever load curtailment so they don't have to explain anything...

The thing is they keep hitting the big guys, they big guys will eventually find other means to get power then they have residents who pay and then all the squatters who get free power so they kinda need to keep the big guys somewhat happy otherwise they get no money
