poweralert stage 2.....

[VooDooC]

Ok so basically everytime the minister says it's going to get better, we can sure as **** bet on it that it will get worse in the next 12 hours.

I refuse to be unhappy, they're just losing more votes.

 

[Nemesys]

Amazing how for so long, even under the threat of winter, basically no units went down... yet here we are, again...

Anyway as long as they don't go above 4 then it's just 2 hour sessions.

Stage 5 start at 22:00 tonight

I don't get it, it's such a small time frame that it makes no sense... Stage 5 continuously tomorrow morning?

Looks weather fears related after all, but who knows.

They can’t even maff, anymore.

30%ers.

At least we got the inverter hooked up to the genny (at work), and now the inverter can command the genny to start whenever the battery goes below 40%.

Got most of the gremlins sorted out, now diesel use should be lowered drastically.

Until the network bugs or the starter fails hehe

I really wonder what the hell broke for them to up to stage 5 when demand past 2200 is hovering around 20gw total, getting a weeee bit concerned for the morning

The numbers are all a lie. Can’t use them.

Nah, they don't actually need to do stage 5 or any of the very high stages overnight. They just have higher stages so that pump storage reserves can increase overnight and cut diesel usage.

Stage 5 from 10 am. Predictable.

 

[VooDooC]

And just as predicted, back to stage 5 at 10am. Lost another 4 units, just as we knew they would.

For my next trick, stage 6 by 4pm...

Back to Stage 5 from 10am... They are doing a fantastic job with that extended maintenance

That wouldn't really be a trick, as it usually goes up by 1 stage at 4 pm and Eskom's announcement says stage 5 until 4 pm which gives a very obvious hint it will go to Stage 6 after 4PM.
