They'll invoice the 'treasury' which will invoice the taxpayers. No big deal. Just another day in the asylum.

What does high pressure steam have to do with a transformer? That goes between the boilers and the turbine.

The Eskom revival plan.

 

[kolaval]

resulted in a loud bang

 

[Thugscub]

Have the cum dunts fixed it?

 

[Riebens]

No we haven't removed so much load, plus the fact that they didn't announce load shedding the moment this happened indicates they have actually fixed things.
Plus this happened at 5pm, that's peak and solar isn't working then.

I live in the Garden Route, not much more south, and my off-grid solar system charges up to 19:26 in the evenings.
I do like to also think that some maintenance has resulted in better equipment availability.
