Eskom issues week-long load-shedding warning as four units go down

Eskom has warned that it might have to implement Stage 2 load-shedding at short notice during the evening peaks this week as the system is constrained due to four generation unit breakdowns.

"Eskom cautions the public that the system remains constrained and that Stage 2 load-shedding might be required to be implemented at short notice from 16:00 - 24:00 over the course of the week," the power utility said.

Let me guess. Breakdowns, and delays in returning units to service

As we head towards summer, we will hear the excuse that the coal was too hot for it to burn....

And as always, such a coincidence that 4 to six go down at the same time. Seems like the generators are talking to each other and orchestrating the breakdowns.

This warning is lubing us up for tomorrow's shedding no doubt.

Well, well, the top Swiss electricity guy was recommending citizens stock up with candles and firewood for winter. And in Germany, electricity base price increased by 25% today - that's in one day! Price now almost 15 times higher than the seasonal average.

I thought it was now called Rotational Electricity Savings?

Nothing like a good lube every so often.
