Either they burn diesel, or we go to stage 4 or the power alert is wrong. Who knows at this point.

Expect the power alert
Guessing stage 4 due to 6 generating units going down.

Yup, even though on Sunday it was actually pretty good, it's just been a massive downgrade again. The supposed 2.2GW looks like it was the other way.

This supposedly arrived on the 11 February?

But not much news on it? We need this installed and running 800w extra to the grid and medupi running at full tilt... Or should be.
Though here it says it only arrived today?

Eskom's Strategic Move: 400-Tonne Generator Arrives Early at Medupi Power Station for Grid Boost

Think they're burning every ml of diesel they can find at the moment. Being irresponsible is so much better than just admitting something went pop and upping the stages.
