They supposed to be getting 3.7GW back by Tuesday (lol).

Well I think they will claimed they did get 1.3GW back on Sunday rather than the anticipated 5GW...

 

[Priapus]

Got to laugh or cry.. or both...

Last night LS ended at 20:30. Power was only restored after 9pm.

Why?

Because the dude who was meant to go turn it on, got robbed on his way to do it.

That only delayed him 30 mins?

In durban, things get automagically switched remotely at 1 minute past the hour.

This is 2023.

This is Africa

This is Africa

Like I said, durban is automatic, why can't jhb be? We don't wait for some rando to brave the elements to go and flip a switch, a computer does it.

They sent someone else out.

City power took over from Eskom to do the LS switching. Ever since then it’s been a fùck up.

Like 1/2 of the switching stations are automatic, they are converting the rest slowly afaik

But it also doesn't matter when a breaker on your MSS trips

Pouring down with rain here in the WC... fortunately no effect on the national stages.

Nope and little on your local, see CPT uses its resources to make it better for people, City Power does the opposite

Nope not all, all of them would be 2300, this is 1600 at most, so 11 out of 20

Peak on Sunday seems to be the same

 

[Lupus]

Lowest EAF in 2 months, congrats Eskom

Stop being so pendatic. I was being dramatic for effect. I count 1.8GW peak.
Okay, so they used 78.26086956521739% of them between 11pm and 6am. Also only pumping 1.4GW out of 2.5GW pumped hydro back in that time, then using nothing in morning peak.

It's all about the numbers... Can't track things if you're not pedantic ;-)

And our power is off again since midnight.
