Let’s see if we are right with this load shedding prediction

10 June 2015 By Alan Straton

Eskom tweeted at around 06h45: Good morning. “The load shedding prognosis for today is medium for the morning and high for the evening.”

The previous two days have seen the words ‘low’, ‘medium’ and ‘high’ being used in Eskoms ‘weather report’. ‘Low’ resulted in no load shedding, ‘medium’ resulted in Stage 1 going to Stage 2 on Monday and ‘high’ resulted in Stage 1 on Tuesday.

So then today’s MyPE prediction is: We will have the onset of load shedding this morning at around 10h00 and move to Stage 2 just as we are getting into our cars to go home.

UPDATE:

Stage 2 was announced at 16h00:

  • 14h00 to 16h30: Group 3 and 4
  • 16h00 to 18h30: Group 2 and 3
  • 18h00 to 20h30: Geysers and Group 4
  • 20h00 to 22h30: Group 7 and 8

  • Stage 1 Load Shedding Schedule from 30 March to 5 July 2015
  • Stage 2 Load Shedding Schedule from 30 March to 5 July 2015
  • Stage 3 Load Shedding Schedule from 30 March to 5 July 2015
  • Stage 4 Load Shedding Schedule from 30 March to 5 July 2015
