You really can't apply logic to what they doWhy would they be done just before peak time? Surely being done at midnight or 10pm or something is better so the reserves can build up when people are sleeping?

Somehow they will find a way to stuff that up as well.Every day, more ANC lies revealed...
Some better news - Jo'burg Friday 21st is predicted 2 degrees warmer now.
Thermal generation is back to 18 to 19 from 20 to 22?Still no sign of these 11 units failing, I suspect they just want to save OCGT usage:

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.www.eskom.co.za

Hourly demand is compared against available capacity, to indicate the amount of surplus/shortfall there was. Available capacity must be matched with the total RSA contracted demand.www.eskom.co.za

Like today is now cloudySomehow they will find a way to stuff that up as well.
Will be gone by midday at least.Like today is now cloudy
And it's getting colder.Like today is now cloudy
Is that 11 units? Thermal only really only dropped about 500MW, the highest in the last 7 days was 20.4GW for a few hours.Thermal generation is back to 18 to 19 from 20 to 22?
There's the clue...And it's getting colder.
So 1. No water, 2. No power, 3. Cold, cloudy and misty.
What next??![]()
There's the clue...![]()
At least I don't have that shitty early morning winter sun blinding me in my office. Maybe I should just rearrange my office, but what a pita.Murder Mist...
Could be, if they tiny onesIs that 11 units? Thermal only really only dropped about 500MW, the highest in the last 7 days was 20.4GW for a few hours.
We have just been explicitly told we will only get water back on the 24thThey say that, but it could be sooner
InsaneWe have just been explicitly told we will only get water back on the 24th
Insane because it's most probably BS.Insane
Who was doing the explicit telling?We have just been explicitly told we will only get water back on the 24th
