Oh joy, 2.5hr outages at 10:00 & 18:00 for me

... actually they've been good at limiting them to 2hrs also power came on early last night around 21:30 instead of 22:30.

 

[Akasha]

Be lucky. Could have been 4.5 hours at a time.

 

[schumi]

just missed load shedding toady,my slot was stage 2 06:00-08:00,first day of light since Sunday

 

[supersunbird]

10am to 12:30 as always...

 

[D3athD00r]

I'm only affected if we hit stage 3 from 14:00 to 18:30. But I got an inverter yesterday. Switched it on yesterday at 12:30 for the 1st time but I forgot to switch the wall socket on. Woke up at 05:30 to one hell of a ringing in my ears from the inverter being out of power. Geez it whines low key when it's flat. It isn't like an alarm. It's way more like "ringing in your ears". Very weird to explain.

 

[akescpt]

[sand_man]

Winter is coming so I assume it gets worse.

Same with me

And tonight was supposed to be movie night with the missus after a long drive from kzn... FML.

Had 18:00-21:30 last night too... And prognosis for tomorrow?... Yip, you guessed it... 18:00-22:30, with 22:00-02:00 thrown in for good measure under stage 3. It just defies logic!

Difficult to plan things with these irregular blackouts

Can't we just have one blackout thread to post the daily schedules in, instead of starting a new thread each time?

Eskom Criminals in Charge

If I had the means, such as a good website, I would motivate the public to consider laying criminal charges against the top management and Board for losing R300 Billion and 1 million jobs plus al of the ancilliary cost such as road accidents etc.

12 - 2:30... Not too bad today.

 

[sand_man]

Winter is coming so I assume it gets worse.

Higher demand in Winter, wet coal and maintenance in Summer. They have an excuse for every season.

Unions should be charged with treason!!! How they can get away with the Medupi strike at a time like this? It's criminal!! Period!!
