Eskom brings back over 2,000MW and suspends load-shedding

Eskom has announced it will not implement load-shedding on Sunday evening as it has seen a marginal recovery in generation capacity.

In a statement around noon on Sunday, the utility said planned maintenance was at 4,331MW of capacity, slightly higher than the 4,279MW on Saturday morning.

I read the headline as:

Eskom reports magical capacity improvement, suspends weekend load-shedding​

Perhaps not far off from the truth given that the source of the increase isn't known.

Cold and windy this morning in jhb, the sort of conditions likely to trigger another week of evening load shedding. The grid is that fragile.

Just like the patient with metastasized stage 4 lung cancer, there some good days, but the writing is on the wall.

Tom Cruise should film Top Gun III over Eskom power stations as they always guaranteed to explode.

In 3...2...1... Boom.

Ah, our infamous terroristic saboteurs taking the Sunday afternoon off?

Though you don't mention the almost 3GW recovery in unplanned?
