    I hope you’re all ready and have your scented candles, Lion matches and speed dial for Butler’s Pizza ready (because, y’know, they don’t need power to fill your empty gut) – load shedding is about to begin again for us.

    We’re looking at load shedding from Tuesday through Thursday due to a “shortage of capacity to meet the demand”.

    This, from Eskom:

    The system is extremely constrained today and for the rest of the week. Any extra load or faults in the system may necessitate the need to go into load shedding.

    The good news is that Medupi started giving us power as of yesterday. In the midst of many problems and massive delays, it is nothing short of a miracle that part of it is actually working. The coal-fired power station “will pump 794MW into the national grid when it gets up to full power in three months time”, with a total of 4 764MW once all six units are finished in 2017.

    You can use this easy to understand load shedding schedule from News24 – GridWatch – you can even save applicable areas.
