Rolling Blackouts: Wednesday 6 May 2015 [Stage 2 from 6-10pm]

Per Eskom

The load shedding prognosis for today is medium during the day and high in the evening dependent on the performance of the power plant.

Prediction: Stage 1 from 5pm to around 8:45pm.

My power went on/off about five times in rapid succession about 20 minutes ago and has been off ever since.

 

[cavedog]

Started 16:20 due to a loss of capacity....

New prediction: Possible stage 2 at 18:00

Due to the loss of capacity and increased demand Eskom has changed to stage 2 loadshedding as of 18:05

I f u c ing hate them, you do your planning arround theirs shedule, then suddenly half an hour later, there everything goes.

What about the poor fckers in the lift, they didn't plan for this,

Why cant we do or say what we want? Then we are racists, or sleep in jail, meantime they are the idiots.

Ye, thanks for warning Eskom. Not!

Load shedding hits stage 2

Eskom had to suddenly move from stage 1 to stage 2 load shedding.

 

[cavedog]

Eish! What broke now?

Well it was always going to be Stage 1 from 5pm but they said due to a loss of capacity so I would assume that it is a big unit producing 600-800MW that went offline. Would explain the need to change to stage 2 from 6pm.....
