Yup. We're just out of a 12h00-14h30 shedding. Back in again 20h00-22h30 tonight, and 04h00-06h30 Saturday morning.

hahaha, I left work early because Quigney (town) was from 2-4pm (that time on a Friday is the worst for traffic).

Just finished wiring in more batteries, so the bank should now provide around 11kWh at 20% DOD. Should be OK to span most night-time LS.

It's not just load shedding that Eskom does. It's actually a form of wallet-shedding. So many people are now spending on systems and devices to supplement Eskom's shortcomings. This additional cost to the economy is seldom mentioned by journalists writing about the economic impact of our power woes.

Ahead of the curve...

Could be cape town is loadsheding more efficiently

 

[daveza]

Is it so f%^&#$% hard to let the news media or Gridwatch know ?

[AthenianOwl]

Good morning. The load shedding prognosis for today is low for the morning and high for the evening.
