Eskom radically reduces planned maintenance over Christmas and New Year's

Eskom performs a Christmas miracle

Eskom has radically adjusted its planned maintenance schedule over Christmas and New Year's, substantially reducing the chances of load-shedding.

In the early morning of Wednesday, 30 November 2022, MyBroadband published an article which explained that load-shedding could be implemented on Christmas for the first time since the rotational power cuts started.

Perfect. Skip the maintenance so that it can break the following week.

So the less they touch things, the less it breaks?

Eskom and good news goes like this.


Eskom saved a drowning puppy today!



Eskom drowned the puppy the next day!

So, what Stage you guys think we'll have on Christmas.

 

[ThinkCentre]

For the first time ever you can buy static Chrismas lights and ESKOM will make them go on and off!

When is the ANC conference again?

 

[Harold_Crick]

Isn't that what played a major part in worsening Eskom's demise, deferring maintenance?

Gonna start the year off in darkness no doubt.

Told you so. The ANC doesn't want the fallout of Christmas load shedding. But we're damn sure gonna pay for it next year.

Mare MSM media praises for an ANC-run, derelict, SOE.

This sounds like a bad idea. If the maintenance was planned, it was for a reason. Now they cancel the maintenance over christmas where presumably the load is low, when are they going to do it? In January when the demand is high?

 

[Captain-Blackadder]

January is going to be rather 'interesting' then.

They have not cancelled all maintenance - they've reduce the amount of planned maintenance.

Yes, I understand that, but I still stand by my comment.

 

[Beyond.Celsus]

Why?
Loadshedding is the new normal. Country has already accepted it. Just keep it going.

Given how they are constantly doing maintenance and **** is then constantly breaking down, its clear what the problem is. Spoiler: The maintenance teams are ****ing it all up, either purposely to get more tenders, or just through incompetence
