So it definitely does seem the ANC has canned the Kelvin Power station from offsetting load shedding. Typical allow the country to burn while falsely stating they will allow IPPs.

Confusing. Yesterday's article but old news?
Probably, but they are saying they lost an additional 3 units.Judging by the very specific timing, it looks like they ran out of diesel again?
Technically, if the diesel turbines run out of fuel or need maintenance, I guess having those go down would be counted as generating units.Probably, but they are saying they lost an additional 3 units.

So we're what 51 days into the new year and we've had power for 30 of them.
Yup seems like it.New Dawn.
Need a few batteries too, those is where the costs come in.Get inverters, live stress free.

Those slots suck, last week we kept getting either 4pm to 8.30pm or 8.30 to midnight.Not too bad slots I've got. Considering I work during the week, my great concern are the 6-8.30PM and 8-10.30PM slots. I've got the 6-8.30PM slot tomorrow though and likely on Sunday, which really sucks (great way to end a weekend!)
.. turned out to be the same old ***, just with new makeup.New Dawn.
