Overview
Apologies for only showing this here now. Module has been around for almost 8 months now.
For those who do not know what this is, the state power utility operator describes it as follows:
Load shedding is a controlled process that responds to unplanned events in order to protect the electricity power system from a total blackout.
For those who know what this is… You know the feeling…
So, we have a rotational system whereby the local municipality will switch off your power for a period of 2.5hrs depending on the stage we are on at that given time. There are instances where we go without 4.5hrs of power when we are at stage 6 or above. Most often we can be without power for up to 12hrs per day.
I have created this module for users to monitor their load shedding schedule and help them plan accordingly.
