Eskom's wishful thinking

Load-shedding could stick around for a lot longer than South Africans have been told, and it could intensify further due to a lack of transmission grid capacity for new wind and solar power plants.

This is according to Intellidex's head of capital markets, Peter Attard Montalto, who explained that drastic change is needed, particularly in leadership roles at the department of mineral resources and energy and the department of public enterprises.
 
Even if those magic things appeared, load shedding would still be an issue, you'll just be throwing more intermittent power into the mix.
 
Recycled news. Truly top tier journalism

Not going to argue much there, else would have gone years ago. But at least the frying pan will have power! :laugh:

Be a man and come to the mainland. More places to run to when the electricity runs out.

Well, I will tell you anyway. It is someone that has one foot in South Africa and the other in Britain, and his dingeling hangs in the sea.

That's where sout p****l comes from. Salty, is internationally used from "rubbing salt in a wound".

Thread already derailed, much like Eskom
