Woo! Load shedding, woo!

Just realized my areas' schedule moves into the 6:00pm-10:30pm this week, and that we've got a lot of dark and cold to look forward to this weekend.

I still don't understand why Joburg gets smacked with 4 hours of load shedding at a time when everyone else only has to suffer through 2 hours at a time? I'd be decidedly less grumpy after only 2 hours than I am after 4. I'd still be grumpy, just a bit less so.

Can only assume that usage is a lot more demanding in JHB than in CT.

we are back to our daily loadshedding again least it isn't 4 hours like yours not sure how you manage that.
 
You guys can get ready, there will be shedding again tonight most likely. Stage1 from 16:00 and perhaps Stage2 at 18:00 (predictions, not announced yet).

Its up to the muni to split it however they like. Eskom just tells tell to lose X MW. JHB decided 4 hours is easier as it results in less switch-overs than a 2 hour schedule. i.e. in theory you should be getting the same total hours just in bigger blocks than say PTA. In theory...
 
Lights off from 4 till now..:/ We have a genny but that doesn't power the geyser. Freezing cold morning ahead!

Maybe they're doing all the loadshedding during the week so we can keep the lights (and heat!!) on over the weekend, *he said hopefully, wishfully, desperately*
