[Sinbad]

Just got a notification from the noobs24 app that system is expected to be very constrained today with high chance of loadshedding.
Haven't seen any other announcements today....

 

[NeonNinja]

Noobs...

The load shedding prognosis is medium for the morning and very high for the evening.

So incoming load shedding later ... damn we had a good run with none for days

 

[AstroTurf]

if it hits stage 3 it might cause an issue for me if I am still awake after 10

No need to blackmail 'cos their application was denied..

 

[heartbroken]

Fkc it, I am taking the office generator home tonight. Need to watch my soaps.

 

[MrGray]

Oh, I assumed that now that NERSA has declined their tariff increase they'd given up trying to extort us. Must be another hearing coming up.

 

[Sonic2k]

No need to blackmail 'cos their application was denied..

Well perhaps its now punishment line or team spirit for them getting denied an increase. Gotta take it out on someone you know... they're never wrong.

 

[Kosmik]

According to a tweet I saw earlier, two stations failed in the night, hence the shortage.

I'll see if I can find it.

#Eskom lost units at Majuba & Lethabo a few hours before midnight yesterday due to boiler tube leaks. They will be off for a few days.

Hmmm, yes "failed". This is just another case of greed and useless planning.

[Drifter]

Why don't they just say "The City will avoid load shedding tonight due to spare generation"?

With the current statement it almost looks like they are not sure if there will be load shedding or not.

Fkc it, I am taking the office generator home tonight. Need to watch my soaps.

I just watch the real-life soap opera that is Eskom.

 

[ghostR]

Well. That was short lived

 

[MickeyD]

Stage 1 and 3 and I'm happy...

 

[savage]

22:00 - 00:30 for me tonight. So more than likely no load shedding

Thank you new winter schedules.
