Former Eskom manager explains why load-shedding has improved

Why Eskom's winter load-shedding is better than expected

An increase in self-generating rooftop solar power and cooler power station operating temperatures are among several factors contributing to the recent drop in load-shedding severity.

That is according to former Eskom transmission senior manager Hein Vosloo, who recently spoke to radio station RSG about the suspension of early morning and day-time load-shedding in the past few days.

BTW, does anyone actually know whether these powerstations are running on diesel or coal?

They need to pomp the Rand.

Agreed

 

[RonSwanson]

True, unless they find a substitute for diesel.

Isn't It because action has finally being taken against the corrupt and saboteurs.
WHY THEN do we have loadshedding after 9pm and early morning when businesses are closed and there's excess electricity? DIDN'T WE HAVE EXCESS ELECTRICITY IN THE PAST UNTIL EVIL PEOPLE TOOK OVER ?

There was no corruption, remember?

When you have a man at the helm who is not busy chasing individual glory but would rather win as a team, that coward De Ruyter can learn a lot from this man.

They fail to mention that they cut planned maintenance to the bare bones. At least 1 to 2 stages of loadshedding being saved there.

Which they do every winter

Crazy how so many people seem to think there is some conspiracy behind cutting down maintenance in winter.

That's Cassim selflessly driving change.
