[09 May 2022] Stage 2 loadshedding will regretfully be implemented from 17:00 – 22:00 tonight

[Benedict A55h0le]

The era of weekday loadshedding has arrived.

Yup it actually went down from the earlier announcement. I mean this year we haven't even hit a 60% EAF.

Looks like the best we had this year is 59.9 according to the data portal

Yup

Only the ANC can fix load-shedding.

Seriously? Flip Flopping galore. Anyway Eskom is burning fuel @ R 1.5 Billion a month. Didn't Pravin Gordhan say don't swear @ Gov? Never had a Blackout like Texas? Never mentioned that was because of extreme cold. How far is SA from sub zero? Just asking.

"Earlier today, the power utility had 3,049 MW offline on planned maintenance and 14,985 MW of capacity unavailable due to breakdowns"


I'm pretty sure that all these Eskom notices over the last couple of years almost always includes a plus minus 15,000MW outage, due to variable reasons.
Beginning to think that the 15K is just a way to get us thinking that at some stage we'll gain that capacity back and load shedding will stop?

I believe we are being bullshirtted here, the bulk of that 15,000MW is never going to come online again.

Eskom is the windmill of the ancccp.

And we believe these numbers?

They already look pretty dire. Which aspect do you suspect to be innacurate?
