Load-shedding will be back

[Lupus]

We've been through this before. If you read the definition it's load shedding.

Load reduction = switch off localised areas where illegal connections cause overload and damage infrastructure.
Loadshedding =Eskom_SA does not have enough capacity to generate electricity.

Big difference, one is done to protect the local grid due to possible overload, load shedding is done cause they don't have enough power.

Load shedding will resume

The ANC needs some way to recoup all the money they burned through during the election period. It's obviously not enough for their greedy hands that we already pay our taxes.

Ok my guy... Go back to bed.

We came to the correct conclusion

A rolling blackout, also referred to as rota or rotational load shedding, rota disconnection, feeder rotation, or a rotating outage, is an intentionally engineered electrical power shutdown in which electricity delivery is stopped for non-overlapping periods of time over different parts of the distribution region. Rolling blackouts are a last-resort measure used by an electric utility company to avoid a total blackout of the power system.

Rolling blackouts are a measure of demand response if the demand for electricity exceeds the power supply capability of the network. Rolling blackouts may be localised to a specific part of the electricity network, or they may be more widespread and affect entire countries and continents. Rolling blackouts generally result from two causes: insufficient generation capacity or inadequate transmission infrastructure to deliver power to where it is needed.

It's only SA (Eskom) trying to change the definition again after they got caught with their hand in their pants after trying to lie for years.

Ok so you link the definition of load shedding... Which is to prevent the collapse of the entire network. Whereas load reduction is to limit the damage caused by overload on a localised area. Who cares what or who came up with the defintion, one isn't the same as the other.
But anyway as usual arguing with you is like playing chess with a pidgeon.

It doesn't have to prevent the collapse of the grid, only protect it wholly or partially due to a lack of capacity. It's the same thing if you can't supply enough. But as usual SA will try to change industry definitions to make itself look better.
