I also found this:
Load curtailment on the other hand is when Eskom asks large energy users to reduce their power usage.

Load curtailment has four levels – stage 1 and 2 takes 10% of power, stage 3 takes 15% of power and stage 4 takes 20% of power.

I don't know why you guys are nitpicking through this information. At this point most of us know you need to basically get a backup system. We've known things have been farked for a while and analysing the day-to-day changes when someone could decide to throw a spanner into a generator at any moment seems like a waste of time to me.

Because some of us like data and want to get a clearer picture of things. I have a full solar backup - doesn't mean I am not curious to see exactly how ****ed we are.

It's just a guessing game when everything is based on lies or abuse.

That is generally how it works when they put a lower stage in for 11 hours

Yup. I mostly pair stages 1/2, 3/4 and 5/6. It's pure luck based on the schedule whether you benefit from a lower stage within the band. 4 and lower is of course substantially different to 5/6 re length of outages.

Our luck mostly just ran out - about 5 nasty evenings in a row :-/

Ah - that sucks. Hoping CoCT saves me from the dreaded 8 pm-midnight slot on Saturday night, but probably not as Steenbras needs a rest on weekends.

Yup and if you get 4 and 6 together it will basically be 6, if you get 3 and 5 it'll be 5
