Eskom kisses full code red goodbye
Eskom's outlook on generation shortfalls in the next year has turned a corner. The power utility's latest forecast shows substantial improvements from the start of the year, indicating a big decline in the amount of load-shedding that will be necessary in the next 52 weeks.

For its first system status outlook in January 2024, Eskom expected to have a shortfall of more than 2,001MW under both its planned and likely risk scenarios throughout the year.

Perhaps not - if you win at the polls, it worked. If you lose at the polls, it's no longer your problem.

I suspect this is the case, "Look there was no loadshedding until you voted us out, now there is even more loadshedding", they didn't fix the problem, they just solved the symptom until they either win the election or can use the system breaking even worse for the next election
 
Highly suspicious to increase EAF by almost 10% in 2 weeks. I think they were instructed to run the generators at maximum power and stop maintenance before the election.

How did they increase EAF by 10% in almost 2 weeks?
Looks more like they've increased it 7% in the last 6 weeks?

I want to see the forecast to elections and just after, and then hold them to account. :ROFL:
