I think City Power is sick they turned my power on an hour earlier

What area?

 

[Segg]

Well apparently my substation just blew up, again.

Oh dear. Not good news.

They burnt 12 OCTGs worth last night?

Weirdness like this happening too often, has to be some extra issue or agenda; more units down than reported (why is maybe another story) , or greenie instructions from their World Bank & co. masters.

Only other thing that could make sense is they don't understand their own figures sometimes?? But then why the better stability until recently (winter).

Also strange, if something planned do they really continue to think enough paying some attention won't notice??

 

[The_Librarian]

If they're playing along to the greenie instructions, and the power grid does a collapse...

*shrugs* I may be wrong. Either way, it pays to be prepared for the wurst to be braai'd.

If that ever happens, I guess fuel will run out on no time at all and the 20L jerry can in the garage isn't gonna last very long...

Eskom has been burning a lot of diesel and using pumped storage to keep load shedding levels lower. I wonder how long they'll be able to keep that up..

On the 7th and 8th perhaps, but not before


Yesterday not, but they should've as we had a 1GW drop from the previous day

It's Thursday demand drops from tonight, unless we have another breakdown we should probably remain at stage 2.

 

[Brian_G]

So, starting to look like permanent stage 2 maybe settling in now..

We joked (sort of) about Zim 2.0, but here she is.
If they actually manage to get it "under control" (in the Zim sense), it will soon be the whole country all at once at around 18H00 to 22H00, and again 06H00 to 10H00. Apps like Eskomsepush will largely become irrelevant.

when they were joking about load shedding becoming a norm I was like no ways now it is

Its very surreal, I always wondered why people in Zim for instance didn't do more sooner. But the slow decent really normalises a lot of things.
