Woo! Load shedding, woo!

[DieGrootHammer]

Im gonna guess we might see stage3 later today for the first time in months!

Luckily I'm not affected by Stage 3 today, but yeah I wouldn't be surprised to see it go that high.

So our office just got switched off here in Stellenbosch. Luckily all the plug are running off of the gennie.

Net af in die straat van TechnoPark. Die groot wit gebou oorkant die golfbaan. Dis naby genoeg om sekerlik op dieselfde grid te wees

Which would mean I will have power from 18:30 until 22:00 when it goes off again, sigh

Where did you see that? I still see stage 2 everywhere.

Our facilities guys have given us the heads up. They get forwarning from Eskom.

[Hagan]

My Grid Watch app's notification tone/sound effect is a dying light bulb.

Edit: 1 more hour then LS hits our workplace. Real glad I charged my phone.

Hmmm, not so useful if it's inaccurate I guess it is happening later then, apologies for the misinformation.

Nah, I won't be surprised if it hits level 3. At least now I know there's a good chance.

 

[Wyvern]

Well if it was stage 3 or even 2 we should have been without power. . .

 

[blaaislaai]

Stage 2 still in progress, from what I can see. But this evening it MIGHT change as demand gets higher

 

[Solitude]

Power is out at home and will be until 6:30. Traffic will cause that I'll probably one get home at 6:30 if I leave here at 4. I wish they could keep the traffic lights running when the power is out.

Really not looking forward to tonight at all. Scheduled here for 4 hours from 6:00pm. And I'm already freezing. My general dislike of winter grows significantly in the dark and cold of an Eskom night time load shedding session.

I know how you feel. Maybe there won't be any Stage3 at all. Time will tell as they usually announce it around this time of the day
