Code Red at Eskom

[Cranjus McBasketball]

Well, we can always hope that it is always darker just before dawn I suppose.

Or in the case of New Dawn, before, during and after

Code Red at Eskom

Eskom's outlook for the next 52 weeks years does not bode well for load shedding.

I have been thinking what Epah said and now I have to agree, we don`t need lectric.

Article is more BT News exaggerations, Eskom's code "red" here actually simply means one stage per GW x2, so a stage 2 minimum at worst times maybe likely.

Here's another example of their continued confusion(?) in the article;

However, despite this flexibility, Eskom has moved into stage 7 load shedding without announcing it nationally, in recent days.

BS, schedules never moved past S6 as usual, and that's due to other measures Eskom takes.
They've claimed this before.

Anyway, Daily Investor is worse.

Hanno does his own calculations to determine what stage it is. MyBB on the cutting edge here

If you copy and paste out of the table in the PDF you get the values under the red. Does not look good for the rest of the year.
