Load Shedding

[Gizmo]

Shit matthee, that is really bad

 

[Andre]

Fortunately we are at stage 2 now, which is only 2 and a half hours every day (12:00 - 14:30), except Sundays.

Moral of the story, keep those batteries charged!

I'm petrified to see what's going to happen this winter. Here is my next purchase.

Here is the load shedding schedule for Oaklands, Johannesburg from the Eskom web site
This is my suburb.



How do you think I should interpret this?

The table says from 6am to 22h30.

This morning I was off from 9am to about 11am - i.e. about 2 hours.

What do you think load shedding will mean for me? 2 hours a day in the morning - or do you think it will be random amounts of time at any time in that very wide time slot - potentially even for the whole period...

In which case, I will have to temporarily move

I just love the 24 hours Mon to Sun for stage 3. No wonder they call it Eishkom!

That is not the whole story. If you mark Stage 1, or 2 or 3 it is supposed to download a schedule, but not working for your suburb at the moment.

Oh ok, thanks.

I was wondering what those options were for.

When i selected them nothing happened.

Maybe its the joburg ciity council that hasnt made them available, since i presume it is the council that decides on each suburb to reach the MW saving goal ordered by eskom

Stage 3 schedule for CT.

 

[Andre]

I shall post Koringberg's stage 3 schedule just now!

@Silver maybe your area falls under the municipality and not the city of cape town.

i also checked the eskom website and it gave me the same times as yours, so i called them.

they gave me this number to call 086 012 5006 to get the proper times.

 

[johan]

According to news24 no L/S scheduled for today, but might change as demand increases.

 

[vaalboy]

Seems like it's over??

Ok thanks @Riaz.
Ps i am in jhb not cpt

Will try calling that number next week and if load shedding resumes

 

[CraftyZA]

There was a rumor that load shedding has been canceled. Hope that is the case. You can only do so many candle lit dinners

 

[Silver]

Given the state of our electricity demand vs. supply and with winter coming, I think load shedding will be a possibility.

Hope not though. Holding thumbs.

I really dont feel like getting a generator or some other large UPS device

And we are off again

Oh no,

I assume this is not load shedding - but rather a power failure ?

Either way its not good. Hope it comes back for you soon

The whole Krugersdorp is off
