Rolling Blackouts - Wednesday 15 July 2015 (St1 from 08:30, St2 from 6pm)

[Aquila ka Hecate]

erm.
Sandton where I'm sitting.

Can't remember which one it is.
Corner rivonia and grayston

I think that's East of corner Maude and West, which is where I am and we've still got power.

So I'm going to guess you're Sandton East and I'm Sandton West and only Sandton East is having load shedding at the moment.

 

[Mypro-D]

That didst last very long.

 

[MickZA]

Just got a Gridwatch alert that load shedding has been suspended - funny since power is still off here

... back on at 11:02, guess PE reckons that with 8 mins to go they'll stay with the schedule.

 

[Dan C]

Not likely.

It's chilly in joburg and they're out of diesel at their OCGTs

urrhmmm..

Just got a Gridwatch alert that load shedding has been suspended ...

 

[Dan C]

Now it started again, Eskom is very confused...

 

[])ragon_\/oid]

Just got a notification that Eskom started Stage 1 Load shedding?

 

[Mypro-D]

 

[Sneeky]

Not likely.

What, did the dentist not make the diesel delivery then?

It's not the first time that Gridwatch sends out a bogus alert. Load shedding is most certainly still on. Power just went off in Stellenbosch.

 

[requiem]

I see Blairgowrie has been moved from 8B to 6B (this should be interesting).

If stage 2 hits then off from 16:00 to 20:30.

FUN!!

Apparently this time it was because Eksdom's website changed their status to NOT CURRENTLY LOADSHEDDING. So not really Gridwatch's fault.

Ah!

 

[Bosvark@]

Load-shedding like a yo-yo today. Its on, no - its off... Oops sorry no its on...

 

[cavedog]

Stage 2 has landed my fellow mybb members.....

[thehuman]

Load shedding will move from stage 1 to stage 2 from 18:00

 

[biometrics]

Load shedding will move from stage 1 to stage 2 from 18:00

Same result for me, 6 pm. At least it's not 8 pm like I always get.

 

[thehuman]

Im lucky will only be hit if move to stage 4
Already had ny 2 hours between 9am and 11am

 

[Dan C]

Had shedding during the day when I was at work. So didn't effect me.

But tomorrow it will

BTW folks remember ...

Electricity supply cannot meet the demand. Please help to avoid more load shedding. Please continue to keep off everything, except the TV and one room light.

 

[MickeyD]

Was blacked out from 11h00 to 13h30 today.

Stage 1 and 2 the same for me...

 

[LaraC]

I am glad our metro changed the schedules that stage one and two run mostly concurrent. It takes the guessing out of the equation. Well done Port Elizabeth.
