What happens after stage 8 Eskom power cuts

Eskom’s System Operator does not have set load-shedding levels beyond stage 8, general manager Isabel Fick told journalists on Sunday morning.

Should South Africa need to shed more than 8,000 megawatts of electricity load, the Eskom System Operator would issue individual instructions to provinces and municipalities.

Sure they do.

That picture of the 4 or 5 huge black dudes, standing behind the couch with the very small blonde chic, comes to mind.

They should publish heavy users and suburbs

The numbers are just how many MW, so after 8000MW comes 9 etc.. its easy to count past 8, anyone can do it

I think you may be making some brave assumptions there

Not even going to read this, but I suppose it will be cutting off whole provinces at a time and some days the whole country....

 

[Cranjus McBasketball]

After Stage 8 they just come and take your eyes away.

 

[Agent_Smith]

The System Operator ensures the stability of South Africa’s national electricity grid by balancing how much electricity is generated to match the amount of electricity being consumed

Lol, I don't think they know the meaning of the word...

Wonder who the fat one is...

Pretty sure the issue is the massive amounts of garbage municipalities that aren't paying their bills hence Eskom is short billions.
Back in March there were a bunch of municipalities in just the Free State that owed a collective R16 billion in debt to Eskom.

Maybe put people / managers in positions that can actually do the job. 10 idiots don't equal 1 clever person.
