Load shedding warning from Eskom

Eskom has warned that there is a high risk of load shedding because of severe power constraints caused by maintenance and unplanned outages at many of its electricity-generating units.

unplanned outages - lack of maintenance.

They just need to up prices, then all will be dandy...

No, they just need to get all electricity users to pay for electricity.

Anybody know where exactly the probs are? Which units are down outside of scheduled maint?

In the Eskom Control room....

Should have expected this, as I believe they are asking for an increase again, so as per usual routine, they have to make us aware of how dependent we are on them

Tonight on my way to King Shaka Airport I noticed that all the street lights were off from my suburb all the way until the first robots at the airport. There were technicians working on one of the sub-stations near the airport, when I got back home the lights were on again. Coincidence or subliminal load-shedding of non-essential lights to avoid mass load-shedding? If it was intentional, that is actually good work!

Lack of coal from Openheimers mines, an urgent switch from Gupta's mines, no open tenders followed.

Lethabo boiler explosion took out 600MW

Expect a huge diesel bill next year for this.

Whether it be water or electricity supply, I am thankful every day for the benefits the public reaps from nationalisation. #VoteANC

I'm so glad RamaLectic has a handle on things at Eskom, as without his intervention we'd have been in the dark a long time ago..
