Eskom warns intense cold front will put strain on power grid

[Jan]

Huh?

Fixed. Should be MV and HV.

You know what would be nice? Eskom issuing statements in PDF form so we don't have to retype the whole flipping thing from a jpeg.

And this?

We always call the top.

Cut all power to KZN. problem solved.
Let the idiots carry on burning the place down. Then set up machine guns at Van Reenen.

Unforeseen breakdowns.

I love it. Even a blind person can see the ageing unmaintained stuff breaking down.

They're just neurotic, or being manipulative again. Ignoring this.

And this?

How Eskom avoided more load-shedding this winter​

I called it, in that very thread! https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/thr...even-more-load-shedding.1145287/post-27669047

The cold front was predictable days in advance, but no point in warning people so far ahead.

They've actually done a pretty decent job, it's been in the 30GW for a good while now actually. Much better then last year where they needed to scrap that by. But if demand does peak over 33GW I think we're in for it. South Africans can't just use blankets and thicker clothing.

switch inverter to keep battery on 100%

Just laughing at eskom (which beats crying)

Aaaai fok here we go again
Level 4 with Stage 2

What does the ANC want this time round? More money?

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

They had 35GW last night, if they could remain at 33 to 35GW we should actually make it. Also it's not a load shedding warning

There will be "unplanned breakdowns"...

I guess we should be glad you’re not in power? For the actions of 200 people, let’s punish the entire province of innocent citizens and leave them without power. Not like their fuking lives and livelihoods are in danger.

lol that article went from an eskom post to a weather report rather quickly

One minute it's political climate, the next it's climate change ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's all linked boet.

Eskom must warn/blame himself.

Eskom is an organization. We were warned this is goign to be a cold winter before Winter hit even.

Yep, definitely forecasting on Eskom feels like the easiest call ever. It's like instant Karma for Eskom everytime they pronounce things are looking better.

This is the first time, in a looooooong time that I've seen this.

I've never seen that. What is it?

All green from power alert, I've seen it but once around November 2020, but not for a very long time.
