Woo! Load shedding, woo!

[Jan]

Woo! Seems like I lost this bet. Eskom just tweeted that it didn't implement loadshedding at 10:00 because demand dropped dramatically after it sent its "early warning notification".

#Eskom did not implement #Loadshedding at 10am as the electricity demand decreased significantly, since the early warning notification.

Seems like a trap to me!

So eskom can actually send out false notifications to drop the power usage? For the future.

Didn't think about following them on Twitter.

Would be good to stay in the loop on LS.

Haven't had load-shedding since last Tuesday so hope it stays this way

Choose whether you want to be notified on a daily basis - or 15 minutes before loadshedding commences - or both

Same here -18:00 to 20:30. So basically the whole evening is ruined. Will probably have to get takeaways.

We're having it from 16:00 to 18:30... but since I'm only home after 5pm, about an hour and a half.

I still don't know under which area i fall, there are 2 entries for my area and i cannot find under which extension i fall.

So i will be without power between 18:00 - 20:30 or 20:00 - 22:30

will hopefully find out tonight under which area i fall.

Ours just went off. Time to test that new generator I guess

We're off now until 16:30 and are expected to sit here at work even though we finish at 5 and it'll basically take that last half an hour for all our networks to get back online... fun times.

What pisses me off is their inconsistency with their information. Yesterday our municipality told us load shedding is canceled at 10AM. At 6PM the lights went out.

 

[Stunt]

I was off from 18:05 until 21:35 last night... I really hope they skip us tonight.

+1. Knowing when would help a lot. Came home and there was load shedding, It ended at 5 so I'm assuming that it was from 3-5pm.

We're lucky not not receive load shedding all that often, but we were hit tonight at 18:00. Went out for dinner so I could bemoan clients and work with the wife and mom-in-law.
