Eskom blackout warning

Eskom warned that South Africa’s power system is critically short of operating reserves, which poses a risk to the system’s ability to arrest frequency deviations and prevent a blackout.

De Ruyter our saviour where are you when the country needs you the most?

But a week ago, LS was canceled due to sufficient generation capacity and reserves.

So which is it?

 

[PaulGherkin]

So it's either *noises made by light switches* or its Stage 6 for you.
Which one is it? Hmmm.... tough one this.

 

[Creag]

Does this mean we can cancel their fat year end bonuses? What lol that is!

De Ruyter still got his R7mill per year even though we had a total blackout during his tenure. Why should the rules change now?

I didn't read the CB, so thanks for quoting the relevant part.
What the idiot journalist doesn't realise is that the frequency deviations were a thing before I left SA. I monitored them as did one other on this forum. We used that to assess how imminent a loadshedding stage change would be and we got it right. How do I know this is the right way? Well Eskom THEMSELVES told me how to do the measurements, long ago, when I was an engineer. I was invited to do a presentation at their offices about 20 years ago when this LS stuff started because I had some great ideas about demand side management

Where did we have a total blackout?

2020,2021 and 2022 we barely had enough electricity to run a Milex airfryer. I call that a total blackout.

That was during peak covid... Where you drinking with @Pineapple Smurf and passed out for a year or two?
