Rolling Blackouts enter Stage 3

More info would be appreciated. My group had the earliest slot today and didn't experience load shedding, so awesome for today at least.
 
Eskom has just announced on 702 we are at stage 3 load shedding as of 12:30 today. Expect longer outages and more regular outages. They will be shedding 10% or 3000 Megawatts.
 
eh everyone can prepare for loadshedding in the next 6 hours... eishkom... solar is getting less and less expensive... :whistle:
 
Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality - Loadshedding: Stage 3
Eskom has communicated that it is implementing stage 3 loadshedding.
This means that the schedules that are placed on the Ekurhuleni website are no longer valid, and Eskom is shedding at its own discretion.

That's crap. Eskom only controls to the inlet points. After that EMM manages the reticulation. They're just blaming Eskom for their own ineptitude, not that Eskom is without blame. They're the idiots who took know from Mbeki and now manage power station projects as well as Zumatello manages finances.
 
We're getting a double dose of blackouts tonight. :(

Any idea if we are going to be earlier as the power went off at 4 instead of 6 ? Or will we only be back at 9pm ?
