Rolling Blackouts enter Stage 3

Geez, you guys think you have problems with scheduling. Our power went off at 20:10 this evening and only came back on at 21:10.
 
Scheduled for midnight here. Hoping it doesn't go out otherwise I have to stay at the office for another 2.5 hours.

Noticed some Facebook and Twitter noise regarding Duvha generator that got destroyed during stress testing. Can anyone confirm this.

Not new.

Duvha Unit 4 was extensively damaged in February 2011, reportedly due to “operator error”. It was offline until January 2013, reducing available generating capacity by 600MW.

Ours went off at 4pm and came back at 7:30 pm.
But our neighbouring suburb which went off at the same time, has yet to come back on.

So yeah... I don't think you can count on anything.
