Acting Eskom CEO says they would consider limiting power cuts to Stage 6 this winter a success

Stage 6 load-shedding will be a "success" for Eskom this winter, says CEO Acting Eskom CEO Calib Cassim says that the utility would regard it as a success if it could prevent load-shedding from going beyond stage 6 during the coming winter. These comments came during a panel discussion on the...

Probably will be stage 6 every day for like two months.

Sounds pretty bad considering we only have stage 8 schedules.

Stage 6 already like this week in May? But much worse when the real cold weather arrives...

Well we're alternating between stage 6 and 4 at the moment. I suspect they'll just do perm stage 6 until the cold lets up.

Isn't going to make a difference and is actually causing more issues to be honest.
 
Something funky today in my area. I've gotten 3 notifications so far in the last hour from the inverter about grid disconnections. It looks like 5 second drops.

They should just cancel winter. I don't know why they are still bothering to implement it. No one likes it anyways.

Fortunately I am in the UK in July for three weeks (Their summer time) so should miss some of the coldest days.

There is no other option though?

There is, but they won't do it. Literally fire anyone who is caught sabotaging and actually hire engineers who know what they are doing. Load shifting is just rolling the stone down the road thinking you're doing something.

Actually not, we managed last year with the strikes and we were basically in the same boat, our biggest issue is the constant sabotage happening. It's not even about the age of the power plants anymore it's literally corruption. I mean it's gotten to the point where even City Power is saying to please keep your inverter off the grid while power is coming back up. It's slowly sinking in that load shedding just shifts demand.
