Eskom on track to lift load shedding this weekend: CEO

Eskom chief executive Andre de Ruyter says that the power utility has seen a good recovery since the country was forced to introduce stage 4 load shedding at the start of the week.

the increase in temperatures has led to an increase in water temperature which has led to unplanned breakdowns

Oh nice we have another one to add to the Wheel of Excuses. The water is too hot.

Ag Andre, djou ma se p**s
Another round awaits us.. probably next week or the week after, and a lot of it before the 16th of December, then it goes away until January.

So wait, there is still 18GW down? But that would bring capacity up to 30.
Also this is BS

De Ruyter added that there is now 11,130MW off the grid due to unplanned outages or breakdowns – a significant improvement since the country moved to stage 4 load shedding, where at one point the utility faced as much as 17,000MW in unplanned outages.

You've shifted the unplanned to the planned, the numbers are still around 18GW of outages.

Yes, they will probably add "global warming" in the next slot of the said wheel

Next week in Joburg: electricity and no water.

I'm not sure they can lift anything, since they're spineless.

 

[PaulMurkin]

Uncle Gweezy is the undisputed king of the buffet, with a boepens like that I am sure he too, can't lift anything, let alone a finger

Like I said all along... this number never changes, not since 2019

 

[backstreetboy]

Obviously there'll be good recovery when we're being shed into oblivion. Stop shedding and we'll be back to stage 1 in no time.

 

[YoungSandwich]

Sure they are.

It's changes, by shifting them

I cannot believe what I hear in that livestream... Ol' Andre is ducking and diving...
