It would help if they actually would send technicians shortly after people reported faults, as we're now 2 hours over our time and we're almost heading into our next one.
Wait your turn! We haven't come back from our load shedding at 20:00 last night and my geyser is gone cold... :(

I was off 6 hours yesterday already :p today they seem to want to make it longer as we're at 4 and a half so far + we have a 2pm session coming.

It's a joyous place, we have potholes, greenery (thanks to pavements never getting cut), power outages, robot outages, you name it we've had it.

You can say its a regular 3rd wold country ;)

All we need now is the animals in the streets ala India and the transformation would be complete.

Thank **** we have some PV and new LFP batteries :rolleyes: We are heading to winter which makes the PV less effective but I am still glad that we have and don't have to rely solely on City Power.

Not sure where to put this (except up my jumper o_O) but my sister's got a weird set-up.

Solar people installed some batteries fed from Eskom but didn't put panels up? She hasn't got a clue when their power is off because the batteries kick in automatically.

Sounds like a battery backup. Grid charges the battery when it's back online.

I knew the power hadn't come back this morning when I woke up to the sound of Africa from my neighbours running their generators...

You make it seem like a bad thing.

I'm looking at that, but damn it's hard to get people to respond, you phone, you whatsapp, you email, its like I want to throw money at you, well money I can afford.

Little Falls, Roodepoort here and same problem. Most of Roodepoort is a big problem power wise.

City Power is absolutely pathetic in keeping the power on.

Yup, they aren't the best :-(.
