Eskom’s plan to force people to switch off geysers and home appliances

[3WA]

Just ban electricity and make it like it was before the white devil arrived.

We still need it to keep the beer cold.

We can use gas like the old days before electricity or ban beer also.

If we all start switching to gas, then they’ll bring gas-shedding.

You're right, ban cold beer instead.

Bring me a two liter coca cola and I'll fill up your gas bottle for free.

Gas from where exactly considering all the refineries being under load shedding? You plan to pipe it directly from gweezys ass hole?

Can use methane yes.

African solutions...

Ban geysers, electric kettles, hairdryers, tumble dryers, electric stoves, ovens, and electric heaters. We don't need this schit. The rich can switch to gas, and the poor can switch to not voting liking idiots.

Bold of you to assume that voters can make an informed decision

Eskom’s plan to force people to switch off geysers and home appliances

Eskom wants to use smart meters to limit the electricity supply to households and force people to switch off their geysers and home appliances.

Proper anc thinking on display

 

[Vox Populi Vox Dei]

Eskom is a SOE.

Relax folks - they are wholly incompetent and most SAns will find a way to hack the meter...

 

[chrisc]

We switch off 90% of the electrical devices in our home anyway
Solar power runs it all

will get worse.. civil war imminent!

 

[leon.davibe]

if they made the tax incentive for batteries too and added a nice feed in tariff and nice off peak rate
pretty sure , some would see it as a business , to buy off-peak power from eskom and sell it back to eskom at peak times smoothing out the graph, but hey what do i know i ain't an "engineer"

I’ve been waiting almost 30 years for this civil war…and yet here we still are.

 

[Temujin]

Can remove geysers from every house if they want, still won't change anything. Households only use around 7% of all generated... so yeah, this is all about mah tenders and moar looting

Edit: Infact, can disconnect all households, 100% off eskom grid, and eskom will still be loadshedding around stage 3 or 4

 

[Nemesys]

Nothing to worry about. Judging by the rate they rolled out the set top boxes to switch from analog tv to digital and ending e-toll etc etc it will like take 10 to 15 years to roll out the smart meters.

Correct, if those things had not arrived, we would not be suffering from this loadshedding thing
