We’re in a similar boat to @Ani. We rarely get load shedding as such - I think because I live close to a mine, hospital, water plant, and the police station.
Before you guys all queue up to move in though, we do get regular random power outages. I’m busy with the fourth one for June - been going on since 8 last night. I’ve been running the gennie most of the evening last night to have coffee and a little bit of heat in the house, didn’t sleep well since I didn’t have electricity for my CPAP machine, and got up early to turn the gennie on again to get the appliances doing their applying. I’m working from home this week, so burning some more fuel while waiting for the municipality to handle their shit.
Already planning on spending my 13th check due next month on some inverters and batteries to get my solar ball rolling.
Summary: Cranky Avatar this morning.
Edit: Power came back around 09:00. 4% less cranky now.
