UPDATE: Due to lower weekend demand loadshedding will lowered to Stage 1 from 22:00 until 05:00 on Monday.

I think (somebody else can confirm) that one of the units of Koeberg is already off until June - yes they delayed maintenance but it is off for re-fuelling.

Yes, one unit is down at Koeberg. They just aren't doing the life extension upgrades.

Headline is ambiguous enough to mean we go back to stage 2 on Monday morning. Which is probable given that they are not cutting back due to restoration of capacity.

Yup very big chance of that

Freaking power went off 1 minute early, hopefully not a fault and is the load shedding

Getting cold in cpt, so more heaters going to be running...

Bloody people should be warming themselves. Not the whole freaking house.

Jackets will do, don't need to use electricity

Agreed but perhaps enough units will come back online in the next 2 days...but that's not a sure thing obviously.

Let’s blame the right people shall we. These “Bloody people” of yours should be able to warm themselves however they see fit.

For sure. Screw the planet and anyone living in it.

No need for extremes, we don't have to stop using heaters now.

Sure we do. If you think global heating is a myth, then go check yourself into some mental institution.

Not a myth, just a politically misused exaggeration.

Lol yeah it hasn't been 40 degrees plus here all summer. Not to mention this https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/thr...temperatures-up-to-23c.1185558/#post-29280250

Don't even have a heater, threw the last one out about 20 years ago.

Temperatures are expected to just go up one or two degrees and the oceans to rise about one meter by the end of the century, the rest is our planet going through seasonal changes that happens every few thousand years.
Trust the planet (nature), it's not new to this.
