I think we're all trying to make logic fit a bit. Truth be told, there's nothing logical about much of their behaviours, as much as we'd like there to be.

You have last word :)

THU-FRI: 4pm-midnight (stage 2).
SAT-SUN: 4pm-midnight (stage 1).

(Edit: Sun. is apparently tentative.)

So, Fri. now 2 instead of 1, Mon. no longer listed.



Remind me - why the need for 10pm to midnight??

Who knows man, who knows. But now stage 2 messes with my sons scouting again sigh, seems our areas always get that time.

Yep, I would be. For instance, aren't we told that there's a massive amount of solar panels in use here by industry..

Just not enough space for all the panels we would need x everyone around us.

Can offset - sure,
replace - not in your wildest dreams

A few weeks ago many here swore that they were enough to make in-week use lower than weekend use, backed up by Eishkom behaviour.
Later, Eishkom started doing the opposite, more shedding on weekdays.
And so on..

So, no expert but there's little to go on logically with them regardless of the issue examined.

See what happens when I have my first day of panels, it relieves the system that much.

Turned us off this morning @ 7:17 for 20 minutes.
They've done that a few times in the past, usually when it's more cold so maybe to scare peeps not to use heaters.
 
There has been a trip at Kriel Power Station removing 2,000MW from the grid. Load shedding imminent :(
 
Just as we thought we had a bit of break, and the sparky is only linking up my 3kva to the db board tomorow :(
