Eskom's EAF is better, but still worse than last year

“We can expect another decline in the second half of the year, and the EAF target of 65% will probably not be met. Not being negative, just realistic,” Eberhard said.
Severe load shedding started in Sep 22 but we had a 65% EAF for the last 6 months, strange
 
So obviously this new energy expits is telling Jan lies about 65% EAF the last 6 months of 2022 when it clearly shows a drop started in Sep 22 and never reached 65%
Clearly you just fail at reading:
“We can expect another decline in the second half of the year, and the EAF target of 65% will probably not be met. Not being negative, just realistic,” Eberhard said.

Although Eskom probably won’t reach its 65% EAF goal, Eberhard said we could see an uptick in availability if three generating units at Kusile return to service as promised.
 
Something wrong with those numbers, how many MW were they making in July 22
27GW to 33Gw

It is early days in July so we will see, but those that said Andre stuffed up and we're doing better now, forget we actually have had almost the entire 2023 with shedding, he's been gone since Feb

Other news outlets have been saying we have reached EAF of 60%, but that graph shows a current EAF of 58% and a peak of 59%, 2 % is a lot of "rounding". Considering the target was 60% in March and we still arent there, should probably be more concerning ? I suppose the details will emerge in the next 2 months if its still heading upwards .. otherwise it appears there's "nothing to see here"

Captured media has a job to do.

Cause for some reason, journalists don't journal and they listen to "experts"
 
Counting Eskom chickens

Energy expert Anton Eberhard has cautioned against counting Eskom’s chickens before they’ve hatched.

This comes after electricity minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa talked up Eskom’s improving energy availability factor (EAF).
All the businesses and factories closing down, does definitely help... :rolleyes:

The irony:

 
People conveniently forget kusile and medupi broke under Andres watch, after July 2022
We are at 60-62% EAF without Kusile, which is really good all things considered
I don't like to defend De Ruyter too much, but Medupi and Kusile were f*cked long before Andre arrived on the scene.

In case you haven't been paying attention or, more likely engaging in your usual troll-like cherry picking, the struggle to keep both plants running has been going on for years now and stems from the rampant corruption during the Zuma/Gupta years.
