The funny thing about loadshedding. I have a solar setup. But i make sure my batteries are 100% most of the time now because i dont want to sit in the dark ever.

More loadshedding = more consumption

CoCT only on Stage 3 until 10pm on Sat 17th, thereafter Stage 5 due to inspection work at Steenbras:

Nice time to do inspection work, ( even assuming it's absolutely necessary).. So 8 hours of LS tomorrow, think it's a first for CT, although having said that,I must admit I'm thoroughly looking forward to 4 hours of no power from 8pm-midnight tomorrow. Not.

An intoxicated, stumbling drunk could have done a better job than Eskom with the 10s of billions they've p*ssed away over almost 2 decades, with nothing achieved except never-ending misery to people and businesses and the almost total destruction of the economy.

I hope we're wrong, but I also think it might happen.

Sept 24th here we come ...

Sincerely hope it is not part of that, but with these lot you never know if they will kowtow to Klaus et kie.

If nothing else changes we should be on course for 8 early this week.

First ever Stage 6 slot for me due to CoCT usually saving consumers from higher stages...but not today unfortunately

Yeah, was just wondering. CoCT has been suspiciously silent so I figure we're getting no respite.

Ah well, put the kettle on before 8 and then back into bed...

It's summer and the day's lovely outside. Go for a hike or visit one of the botanical gardens.

Sure lemme grab my torch and gun, wanna join me?

And the impending cold front that's coming will just add more strain to the grid.

We can expect to hit some swrious trouble if the engineers still are busy with fixing things. Better stock up on braai wood then.

Just a friendly reminder from Eskom that the fancy parts of Cape Town are still part of South Africa

I see Eskom are still crunching the numbers:

Station build-up for the last 7 days - Eskom Data Portal

This shows how resources were used to build-up the demand over the past 7 days, and it includes both generation and demand side resources that Eskom has contracts with.

Think back to "stage 2" was "bad" and the grid collapse. Nowadays stage 2 is nice to have.

Fixed it for you.

True. We were overjoyed when weekends have stage 2, as the genny consumed less diesel then.

Nowadays it'll be touch and go.

And also lock and load for most of us.
