possible power outage nsw

[south of heaven]

RESIDENTS in NSW and the ACT are being asked to switch off appliances between 3.30pm and 5.30pm tonight to avoid rolling blackouts across the state.

As residents suffer through a heatwave, the state government has asked residents to run their airconditioners no lower than 26C, as authorities are warning extra power use could lead to blackouts.

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) expects demand for electricity to be at its highest in six years this afternoon, leaving the state at risk of load shedding.

The peak period was originally reported as being between 4.30-6.30pm but AEMO has confirmed it will be between 3.30-5.30pm.

I heard last night it would be from about 4:30pm.

Bosses should also be sending everyone home from work so they can turn of office lights/power etc, especially in the public service.

Either that or go to the supermarket to cool off, like the Bundys did...

We have generator backup at work, but the generator doesn't operate the aircon so it may be a stink pit. Good thing I'll be out of here by 5:00pm.

Blame the greenies with their opposition to nuclear power.
Currently in NSW we have over 70 power generating facilities.
All of NSW's power, and then some, could be generated by 15 modern reactors.
