Load-shedding timetable for Friday and Saturday

Eskom will continue to implement the current rotation of Stage 3 and Stage 4 load-shedding on Friday and Saturday, the utility announced in a short statement to the media on Wednesday afternoon.

Eskom said that Stage 3 would be in effect between midnight and 16:00 each day, while Stage 4 will be implemented between 16:00 and midnight in the evenings, as has been the case this past week.
 
So drop that on us and then run and hide until Friday?
Total lack of accountability bred by the belief that everyone is invulnerable as long as they are cadres, appointed by cadres, or support the cadres.
 
Bad news?

This is Eskom we are talking about, I consider this good news since we are not going to a higher stage. Could have been worse.

De Ryter should go as well because he will never win the battle as long as there are all these corrupt fukks deeply embedded within Eskom. Let these rodents install their next useless "cadre" to run the show and the results will be exactly the same.
 
In the year 2030 , loaddshedding stage 37. Everyone is allowed to burn one light for 37 seconds a day
 
Stage 3 and Stage 4 loadshedding will continue to be implemented between 00:00 - 16:00 and 16:00 - 00:00 daily until Saturday.
Breakdowns currently amount to 15 492MW while planned maintenance is 5 076MW.
A full statement and a further update will be published Friday afternoon.
This says until Saturday, I mean it more than likely will go over, but it doesn't say Friday and Saturday.
It's the same as the previous statement said until Thursday, which is why we have an update.

Paywalled, but self explanatory.

So there is life after Stage 8 after all.

Eskom risks unprecedented load shedding if it meets air quality standards immediately - De Ruyter | Business

It will cost Eskom about R300 billion to make its existing coal-fired stations compliant with air quality requirements, the alternative of decommissioning them could push load shedding to Stage 15.

Nah. The entire grid will have collapsed long before we get to that stage.
 
20MW offline? Fark me, capacity is what 28? So we only have a third working?
