MTN's DC in Gallo Manor will be wobbling even more with this...


...should be interesting.

I was supposed to be shed from 6 to 8:30 last night but the loadshedding was an hour late to initiate it. almost got locked in my block of flats

There are a number of data centres that struggle with the synchronisation once the electrical feed is restored.

We're already at stage 1 so the question is will PE implement stage 2 at 17:00 during the 16:00 slot or leave it until the 18:00 slot as they have done previously?

... guess we'll find out at 17:00.

Dammit, I'm off at 6pm till 8:30pm on stage 2. No issue on stage 1. I had the same timeslot on Tuesday - not lekker.

Prediction: Stage 1 from 5pm to 9:30pm

Should've predicted stage 2

An average adult can produce ±150W for 80 minutes (so ±0.25kWh) and then be near exhaustion... So you're not going to get much from kids

Have you seen how busy gyms are? The logical thing to do is to harness power from all the people excersing

CPT implements at 17:00 even if we are in the 16:00 to 18:30 slot

Prior to the "stage 1 at 17:00" scenario PE would only implement shedding on the next even hour (all our slots start on an even hour) so it's going to be interesting to see what happens today.

They'll start stage 2 at the appointed hour. IOW almost halfway through our 16:00 to 18:30 block.

... at least we are spared one hour in that case

 

[Bighit]

The chart looks remarkably similar to yesterday's, and we had stage 2 yesterday.

Should've predicted stage 2

 

[bwana]

... at least we are spared one hour in that case

True - I'll be happier still if they only start it at 18:00
