He was expecting the world to be on fire and us to be sitting on stage 8 by now. How dare Eskom actually improve and be fixed, they should be dead in the water.
The fact that even after the Koeberg incident, the Kriel incident and this, the lights are still on... It's shocking

They haven't really improved though, most of it is demand dropping as more have installed solar.

Demand has dropped but only by about 1 stage of LS. The rest is improved availability.

More like 2-3 stages.

Demand is down, but the trend is that it's been picking back up, and is currently only about 1 MW below where it was last year.
