Hm, I'm supposed to be out already.. But 5 minutes in and still with power. I see the tweet has been deleted. Could we be.. Safe?

Tweet is back. Loadshedding stage 1 in progress, but somehow I'm still on.

I'm not affected today, but curious how City of Cape Town will balance out their spare capacity (Steenbras) over such a long period of time. No update on their page yet, but I'm guess no load shedding in CT until 4 or 5pm, and then possibly only Stage 1 from 5 or 6pm to 8 or 10pm? See: http://www.capetown.gov.za/en/electricity/Pages/LoadShedding.aspx

Edit: Oh, I see Co-CT is already load shedding (Area 12). Obviously not enough capacity for prolonged weekday power consumption.

Yet again I haven't had load shedding when my group was scheduled to. I'm liking this a lot.

Their substation went faulty about a month ago and since then the metro are too scared to switch it off... in case it never comes back on again!!!

 

[MickeyD]

Anyone in PE been blacked out yet today?

I understand that the metro's electrical dept employees are on strike, thus they cannot implement the scheduled blackouts!!

Asked a friend Blue water bay still on

 

[MickeyD]

Heard that they are striking due to monies that was docked from their salaries.

We could have a whole weekend of no blackouts !!!

This kind of **** is what will cause the grid to collapse sooner or later.

Was thinking the same, imagine the whole country go on strike and don't loadshed... eeek.

 

[Vrotappel]

Thank you for load shedding us out of schedule. Useless ****ers!

 

[zizo911]

We haven't had loadshedding in months

CoCT reverting back to stage 1 at 8pm.

Cape Town moving to Stage 1 from 20:00. Zone 8 will not be load shed.

Same here. Wtf is up? Power has been off since 5pm but our block wasn't scheduled at that time at all..!

 

[MickZA]

Gridwatch just reported an "unexpected outage in group 6", don't know which town they're referring to - PE maybe?.

 

[A Non Blonde]

Meanwhile, CoCT has reverted to stage 1. Not that it benefits moi, downtime looming.
