COCT says NIL

 

[cavedog]

They predicted a low chance of loadshedding Today so I'm sure there has been a loss of capacity.

[Creag]

Load shedding on a Sunday is never a good sign of things to come.

 

[Hamster]

Not even a particularly cold Sunday

Drat, I'm hoping for stage 2 or 3 before 20:00 then I'm in the clear

I'm off from 6 till 10:30, regardless of the stage

More likely just filling up dams and refueling diesel together with a slightly higher demand than anticipated.

Ons is nog almal vas aan die slaap hier.

It's not particularly cold yet (Sun 14th). A major front with rain and snow will arrive between Mon 15th and Wed 17th. Expect further pressure on the grid...

P.S. The Power Alert graph went directly from yellow (stable) to black (load-shedding) at 5pm, so something must have broken! See: http://www.poweralert.co.za/poweralert5/index.php

I feel your pain... lets just hope they manage to switch it back on again this time

They always change it to black when load shedding is announced.
