What?? Sure my sub woofer makes windows rattle but not my generator.

Mine neither, but it's petrol, not diesel. The Ellies 5K diesel is a window rattler, especially when the exhaust is buried in the ground.

Every time this thread comes up, I get excited for load shedding and leave disappointed...

This thread is full of false hopes.

Just a question of time. Possibly early next week?

I have no problem with being load shed at my residence but my business has suffered severely as a result of load shedding, to the point where it threatens to close us down permanently. Pushing hard for a 120kva generator but it's 300k investment all in.

Nope we've been getting those for sometime, we've just been making it with about 2GW or so.

Actually depends, they have sent alerts when we've had sufficient capacity, though tonight they did come really close.

We had a lot of fluctuations today on my side, inverters were going nuts. Then 2 minutes ago we had a brownout.
Thursday we were out on my side for 4 and half hours while the rest of Wilgeheuwel was on.
And last night the inverters were going nuts.
