Okay, I see you're hanging up on the word ALL, I was paraphrasing, lets say 20 OCGTs on monday and all the pumped storage with 32GW peak at 6pm.

How many were used at 6pm on the 5th?

Not sure, all is 26, 20 Eskom and 6 IPP. 6 of the Eskom ones aren't diesel, I think one of those plants is closed. So 23 maybe on Monday if they use all available

Wind saving OCGT usage, using ALL pumped storage:

Station build-up for the last 7 days - Eskom Data Portal

This shows how resources were used to build-up the demand over the past 7 days, and it includes both generation and demand side resources that Eskom has contracts with.
