Brace for stage 8 load-shedding

Energy experts and analysts have sounded the alarm over stage 8 load-shedding, which they say could be implemented at short notice.

Eskom itself has warned South Africans to brace for higher levels of load-shedding.

Winter's going to be rough.

Eskom was also reassessing its base case for unplanned outages ahead of the release of its winter plan, owing to the fact that breakdowns have far exceeded the 13 000 MW base case assumed in the summer plan.
“We will review the performance and then adjust the baseline as necessary.
“From what we can see right now there is a possibility that the baseline will be moved up to a higher level.”

Amid renewed fears of even higher stages of loadshedding, Eskom confirms review of current framework

Eskom has confirmed that it is in the process of reviewing the current framework that governs loadshedding amid renewed concern that the State-owned utility may need to implement rotational cuts beyond the Stage 6 level that has already been declared several times this year, and possibly even...

Someone said the day will come when we will be begging for Karpowership. Maybe sooner rather than later.

Bring stage 12 loadshedding for winter!

We need it to hopefully get rid of the ANC.

How long have people been shouting "Stage 8 soon"?

Lol. Eskom the ones who is saying this time. If you been following the decline, the stages is slowly getting worse and worse for longer and longer. My thinking we will see stage during the really colder days, i.e. winter. It might be sooner, as without the diesels generators, we would currently be in Stage 8.

Two weeks. Give it two weeks.
