poweralert stage 2.....

[Lupus]

So stage 6 all day was definitely not needed, even old alert, pushing it at night to stage is also over kill but hey.

The coal fleet is 50GW.

Well installed fleet is 48GW, but this includes Kelvin, Rooiwall and Pretoria West, minus those plus Komati, plus all the not running at full tilt it's closer to 44GW

Minister Sputla going to provide an update at 10am. Is there really much to say? We know the performance is rubbish, no need to update us on that fact!

I think Eskom is just making the numbers up and straight up lying. Otherwise, why would they LS at a higher stage than needed?

Exactly I have no idea, all their numbers just don't make sense.

 

[Brian_G]

Character sounded very nervous in his sudden speech. Too many people asking questions?

 

[The_Librarian]

Dayum, I hoped that his little speech got loadshed... seems it did not happen.

 

[The_Librarian]

Or a 30%er worked with the numbers and messed it up big-time.

 

[Brian_G]

It's all too complicated now, our days of making sense of it are likely over.

Involves;
Dept. of Chinese affairs
Dept. of Leftist loans
Dept. of oink feeding frenzy needs
Dept. of voter pampering
Dept. of tobacco manipulations
Other depts.

Well apparently no more load shedding from December

Load shifting definitely in effect. This peak demand is more reminiscent of the depths of winter than spring time.

Especially since JHB was sitting at 25 degrees at that time, unless it's @DarkSt0rm he was probably at 15

 

[Brian_G]

Was wondering what happened to @Grieta Thanburg , haven't seen her around. Looks like she was banned, lol, must have been demonstrating and a Mod got fed up.

Your turn next @Pak Fa Fui ?

Don't know if you're in Cape Town but it's still bloody cold down here.

Honestly Cape Town being cold doesn't really seem to effect demand as much as JHB being cold

Probably because when Joburg's cold everything South of it is also cold as the cold front likely came in from Antarctica. When Cape Town's cold the North can still be warmer.
