Seems some more good news, hopefully less shedding?

Since when does a unit at kusile output 800MW?

That's what it's supposed to do 6x8 is the 4800, Medupi is 770

Overriding some safeties?

Yes, but we all know that it doesn't run to spec but rather something like 50% so it doesn't explode because it wasn't designed properly.

Oh God I just hope that they haven't rushed it and it blows up tomorrow. I think we will probably see Stage 1 during peak Wednesday onwards, could be 0 if they didn't need a 2k buffer

Seems the availability remained around 28GW

Yeah but if it's pumping 800MW then lets milk that bad boy.

Also they literally turned me off at 4 to 5, first time I've had shedding since 2am Thursday...

Perhaps they are tightening up on Stage 2 to ensure no further higher stage.

Don't know, but it has seem to be a bit silly.

oh good, got the 2000 to 2230 tonight. sigh.

 

[Marius De-Kock]

I have the not so nice 18:00 to 20:00 tonight. Early dinner then.

 

[Lupus]

I have nothing till tomorrow 8 to 10.

So looks like we are finally coming out of the LS crisis?

Or will something break just now?

 

[Lupus]

Power alert numbers still look like stage 2, but it could've been stage 1 with maybe a bit of ocgt use

Overriding some safeties?

Free flow exhaust, not by design
