Rolling Blackouts: Fri 10 July 2015 [Suspended]

[bwana]

10 blacks fried out in july, stop drop and roll?

No.

You do realise you are not supplied by CoCT right...

Actually we are. We pay City of Cape Town electricity prices and not Eskom prices, areas supplied be Eskom pay Eskom prices.

So I will say it again, COCT great at marketing/propaganda but actually stealing from certain areas.

Stage 1 and I'm freeeeeeeeeeeee....

However I predict an escalation so Stage 2 from 5pm to 7:30pm.

 

[dualmeister]

Thank you City Of Cape Town

Same with tableview also not CoCT.

 

[Alton Turner Blackwood]

I see its going to be a wet weekend in CT, I really kark if there were to be loadshedding this weekend; at the same time, its very likely.

20:00 - 22:00

 

[mmacleod]

Same with tableview also not CoCT.

The difference being that tableview is supplied by Eskom and pays Eskom prices (can someone from Table view confirm prices please) while Gordons Bay pays COCT prices.
i.e. Gordons bay *is* COCT.

Stage 1 and I'm freeeeeeeeeeeee....

then our area will be hit by 2 times four and a half hour slots.
So I better hope for stage 2 in the next few min, then it will be only later....

 

[Mike Hoxblack]

Pushing for the next price hike?

 

[AthenianOwl]

Cape Town avoids blackouts yet again...

It will escalate to S2 in the late afternoon.

[bwana]

Load shedding suspended according to Gridwatch - waiting for confirmation from Eskom.

 

[MickZA]

and it stopped

Yep, just got the Gridwatch notification that it had been suspended. Hope that's it for the day/weekend.

Bwana beat me to it

 

[MickeyD]

I don't trust them....

Some Eskom CEO probably couldn't microwave his lunch so they flipped it back on again.
