Approaching a record of 18,000MW of unplanned generation capacity offline.

I'm not against your need to discuss it, or this thread.

^ Yea iirc was on all week, but reduced to stage 1 last night with 'low probability of LS over weekend".

Thing is , I did not.

Please read my first post, it was not aimed at you at all. I respect your posts BTW. I was referring to the OP.

Eskom load-shedding for Saturday evening — with more likely next week

Eskom will implement Stage 2 load-shedding from 17:00 until 22:00 on Saturday, 14 May 2022.

The power utility attributed its decision to the loss of six generation units at five different power stations since yesterday evening. It added that further load-shedding is likely to be repeated at the same time throughout next week.

Thanks. Wasn't aware.

LS now. Luckily solar still generating and battery should handle needs until 18:30 end time.

Username leaves us dubious (at best) of such claims ...

Saturday 14 May

There is no need to put the exact date, because most Saturdays this winter will be loadshedded ...

But remember, as you walk the streets in darkness, you will do so knowing your beloved country did not force you to walk streets with the names of colonialists. And maybe, just maybe for the 2h of electricity you do have - you'll see that elusive R22m flag and think "man, my country loves me".

One thing you can count on in SA is that Eskom will always be useless beyond comprehension.

Take that you ANC ****s.
