Bad news about load-shedding in South Africa

So being able to source additional power sometime in the future isn't going to fix the immediate problems? Shocker.
Have some outrage! I need to be furious and pretend like I was not warned that we will have power issues for the foreseeable future! [Insert random insult here, after all, random insults fixes problems]
 
And I suppose BBBEEEBEEEEE will also be a determining factor..........
 
He's optimistic.

This is the guy pushing for EVs in SA... don't see how that will work.

This additional 11MW will not be 11MW and it will not happen this decade, period.

Eskom failed, either a new privately owned and operated corporation to step in or SA Inc will be uninvestable.
 
So maybe by 2030 our problems will be over. But by then electricity will probably only be affordable to the upper class.
 
Staff writer must really be enjoying the easy articles.

Morning: Good news - problem solved. 11GW extra

Evening: Bad news - was just kidding. Problem not solved.
If you can build a pc without a cpu cooler; shocked.

why does nobody use the term gigawatts, why always thousands of megawatts ..lol

have those anc cronies now firmly positioned themselves in the ipp sector, so theyre good to go now.

gooi!
 
I really miss the early 2000's, where electricity was extremely affordable. Now, it seems having electricity is more of a luxury.

Would having independent providers help drive the cost of electricity down... or would it create a situation where all independent providers collude electricity pricing? If we bring another Eskom sized utility, would that be good, or would it essentially create the duopoly Vodacom and MTN enjoy?

Maybe it comes with a cooler for that price? i.e. Rectron advised our dealer that "the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X has the Wraith Prism with RGB LED cooler included" so in the quote that we received there was no separate cooler listed. </off topic>

What dirt does this Yelland guy have on media editors in SA? For some reason they're continually giving him a platform to push his stuff, which is normally mostly bollocks.

We still have the municipalities to deal with, who are just another stumbling block. I don't think we will ever see a benefit as things currently stand, the IPP won't supply directly to the people, the municipalities will buy power and supply it to us at their own rates.
