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

The minor grid_in "trickle feed" to prevent issues with pre-paid meter.

Think this is where I am allowed to brag. But area I stay in does not get load shedding

We've been off for 33 hours - since 5am yesterday - and are scheduled for LS at 18:00

City Power truck arrived an hour ago but the men can't work until the "cable has been checked". Unfortunately the man with the cable checking instrument isn't part if their team so they've contacted him and asked him to swing by.

They're currently dozing on the pavement after enjoying KFC and cokes supplied by the neighbours.

I suspect they might hang around for dinner.

Your neighbours doing it wrong... you dont feed em till its fixed.

Wish I could, our Area is not listed on any app or updated schedule from Muni/Council. We stay close to a covid vax storage site so does not go down

Ooh just in time...
Was about to do a manual LS as to make my LFP's work... now Eskom can do it for me.

With all these breakdowns, bets on stage 4 by Thursday when they have another couple of "unexpected" breakdowns?

First time seeing breakdowns at pumped storage like Ingula and Drakensberg!! Vok...

They were saying thanks to the floods they've not been able to use it properly

Would not suprise me considering this is a lengthy one

Think its time to start looking at 'loadshedding' solutions. Need to maintain about 1kw for 2.5 hours - 3x a day.

We had that, were on the hospital grid - neighbouring houses complained, so we were taken off.

Escum must be the only company who sells a product and then asks the consumer to use it sparingly! Go figure.

You forgot about the part where they also have a hissy fit if you stop using them.

Maybe there should be news articles when eskom is not loadshedding.
It would carry the point over much better.

Its all these foreigners using the power...

No matter how much you okes complain & moan, if you aren't off grid you will have electricity when THEY say so, and you WILL accept it.

Just like all of us. No matter how much you moan, you WILL do what they say.

From where I come from companies like this we call naaiers.

Anything is possible with Eskom but their press release did say that some other plants are "soon coming back online", so I'm hopeful it stays at stage 2.

Thank you! My sentiments exactly that's why I didn't contribute.
