What's the need for Stage 1/4 with that small a short fall? Did they loose 2GW today or something?

AdR has done more to expose the extent of corruption than any of his predecessors, with his R50m intelligence report showing the complex network of corruption throughout Eskom.

Fiction
The new minister followed the same guide book Energy Action Plan afforded to Adr to follow to bring online the most economical low hanging fruit in MWs that Adr refused to follow, he did it in 3 months
It wasnt an impossible task just a lot of effort

Annika Larson needs to have a sit down with Mr Sparkles.

Does Annika have a body guards?

If it weren't for de Ruyter the pigs would be eating with their eyes closed. Now their eyes are open.

Imagine the progress we could have done if he was chased away sooner, 3 wasted years.

The only effort Andre put while at Eskom went into his book, spotting those expensive cars, clothing and handbags from his third floor office took a lot of effort.

Nope, I reckon even newbies will realise how bad a take this is.

Some days I'm hopeful for a new dawn, other days I just want to cut myself.

Thanks. Found it on the list. I see we have a 138 MW farm. Today should be a good day for wind generation (at least over here)

I wish it could supply the town!

According to Twitter, while LS is at lower levels than the recent past, now water shedding has hit JHB. @Brian_G

You okes can't catch a break.

Not finding anything in the news yet, seems unlikely if power is on the increase now.


Sorry if anyone saw the post I just deleted, was irrelevant as was outdated.

This probably confused some Twitts;

Joburg Water systems 'gradually recovering' after power outage | The Citizen

The Eikenhof pump station is now pumping at full capacity, according to the entity.

www.citizen.co.za

Johannesburg Water said its infrastructure is gradually recovering after a pump failure at City Power’s Orlando power station left many areas in Joburg without water on Thursday.

Power outage affects water supply

A power outage at the Soweto power station in the early hours of Thursday morning affected the entity’s water infrastructure and Rand Water’s Eikenhof pump station, leaving several areas, including Randburg and Roodepoort, without water.

Eskom would just be a shell, like so many SOE's before it.

Everything ANC has touched has turned to garbage. Even our streets and landscape is evidence of that.

It is possible (give them the benefit of the doubt) that there is some advance planning based on potential load predictions. A significant cold front tomorrow (Sun 11th) will bring widespread cool conditions across almost the entire country on Mon 12th. Expected daytime temperatures on Mon 12th, and overnight temperatures on Tues 13th:

If we kept De Ruyter longer? Of course.

Doubt he could have stayed longer without ending up like Babita Deokaran.

Looking forward to the elec minister's book; "How I turned the whole country around all on my own, in just 5 minutes"

Magic stuff

Power crisis: Progress is 'limited but significant' says Ramokgopa after load shedding reprieve | Business

Better plant performance and lower maintenance and demand have led to lower levels of load shedding over the past week

www.news24.com

This article mentions there were additional breakdowns on Friday.

While Eskom had managed to avoid load shedding during the day, reinstating Stage 4 only for the peak and evening, the loss of two units on Friday morning would, unfortunately, require Stage 1 load shedding during the day on Saturday and Sunday. Stage 4 load shedding would kick in at 16:00 on both days.

That would have actually saved him from the embarrassment and made him a hero amongst his cult members, now he has to live with all the shame of his incompetence.

BTW, they got this part wrong, last night remained on stage 3.
