#PowerAlert: Eskom will implement stage 1 #load_shedding at 15:00 until 16:00, Stage 2 from 16:00 until 22:00 this evening.

Looks like CoCT is stopping at 6pm again in order to prevent those lovely areas like Manenberg being shed again.

 

[MickZA]

You serious about the stage 2 times Mickey 'cause that means I'm only hit in the 20:00 slot?

 

[Dimpie (COMPUTEK)]

 

[dualmeister]

12 minutes warning.

Next Eskom will announce "Stage 1 Load Shedding to start one hour ago" :erm:

 

[Dan C]

getting earlier everyday

 

[MickZA]

OK, MickeyD's times are right. I just got the stage 2 alert from Gridwatch.

 

[Alton Turner Blackwood]

Throwing stage 2 in there just to fsck things up for some of us. If it was only stage 1 I'd have been missed :twisted:

 

[Creag]

I think Sandton just got blacked out! Traffic will be mayhem!

Afraid so. Lights gone on 5th and Alice. I am going home before this place gets gridlocked.

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

I am just busy putting these CoCT schedules into my Alan Turing Machine. Will revert back soonest...........

STAGE 1 LOADSHEDDING FROM 15:00 TO 16:30,
STAGE 2 FROM 16:00 TO 20:30,
STAGE1 FROM 20:00 TO 22:00

OK, MickeyD's times are right. I just got the stage 2 alert from Gridwatch.

S2 sees me off at 4pm, so I made 100% sure of the times!

 

[MickZA]

S2 sees me off at 4pm, so I made 100% sure of the times!

Condolences ... S1 would have clobbered me at 16:00 during office hours, I prefer the 20:00 S2 slot (hell, they might even call it off by then ).

 

[Gordon_R]

Its the cold weather, LOL!?

Gotta go, 4pm slot...

 

[mmacleod]

The current schedules are so unfair, some people get hit almost every single day while others hardly ever.

 

[Pitbull]

Nothing for me, unless they move to stage 3

Fokken eksdom

 

[chromedome]

22h00 - 00h30, I'm in lala land by then.

 

[LaraC]

My favourite 18:00 to 20:30.

I hope stage 2 isn't implemented due to resistance in awarding tariff hikes.
