Wish.... City of Tshwane they don't miss. If it's your time it's your time...

 

[Kornhub]

Dafuq. Still not back on

 

[VooDooC]

Came back for 5 minutes and died again. Now they're not going to fix it as our actual scheduled loadshedding starts at 12am and they admitted today that if your area is being loadshedded while you have a power failure they won't look at it until after loadshedding ends

Yeah people complaining about it, they don't understand how the hydro pumped system works. Need a few hours to pump the water back to the top part.

Ahhh ffs one of the breakers blew

We can moan all we want, and vloek these bliksems to kingdom come, but things will never change until the ruling party is replaced with one that's serious about turning around the country's deplorable state that it finds itself in at the moment, and even if such a miracle should ever happen, our generation will most likely never see that recovery....

You should always turn off your breakers just before loadshedding ends then when you know its on, turn the mains and EL on and flip them up slowly.

It's surprising that we are only on stage 2 and not a higher stage, demand is higher than supply tonight.

We should be on stage 3, as we suppose to have 2000mw spare at anytime.

According to the City of CT's facebook page : " City-supplied customers will be on Stage 1 load-shedding from 12:00 until 00:00 tonight, 14 January. The City is able to protect its customers from one stage of load-shedding. Eskom-supplied customers will be on Stage 2 from 12:00. "

That's reality .... thinking otherwise is just the most professional ostrich maneuver ever.

It's probably a good thing they've renamed eskom se push to _sepush as people still think it's related to Eskom and don't download it cause I'm not an Eskom customer sigh. They will struggle to find out when they are shed by using the twitter feed of City Power.

Cause they technically could use the remaining 16 OCTGS if needed. Also the renewable generation covered the missing capacity luckily.

I wasn't loadshedded, hopefully we have sunny skies tomorrow so the solar could assist if it happens tomorrow.
