What Eskom could do is take 3GW off for 6 months maintenance, bring it back and so on, not this 9GW in Summer and 6 in Winter

That would only be appropriate if you believe those numbers. Eish, she is broken. Let's call it maintenance...

How about they work on the 20GW that is off?

Maybe they are.. guess we'll never know much for sure, they've also got to hide coal-fired from their Leftist puppet masters.

Yeah, everything is classified, State secret, all the way to PetroSA and their diesel contracts for the OCGTs. That's what shitty governments do when they want to hide the truth, just make it classified, in the name of "national security".

Tomorrow will be the usual load of twaddle and bollocks.

Yea haha, my phone didn't pop up for a change

Yeah, everything is classified, State secret, all the way to PetroSA and their diesel contracts for the OCGTs. That's what shitty governments do when they want to hide the truth, just make it classified, in the name of "national security".

Honest people that know WTF they are doing never hide anything.

Exact opposite of this useless ANC who should all be in jail.

 

[Brian_G]

I wonder if they're giving extra maintenance a miss now, too much heat in the press? Or maybe justifies more diesel burning... quietly of course.

 

[DarkSt0rm]

Probably back to 0/2 tomorrow

Mine isn't, though everything else around me was, hell even Randpark Ridge wasn't great to drive down. Plus it's a pretty dark terrible day.
