All you need to worry about is when is the next time 6 units fall over at the same time.

Have to wonder about that part of things too - is sabotage really out of control. Thing is, the woke purse string holders in Europe etc. are far from stupid, so how much are they actually engineering here?

Like I said earlier, I doubt they have the brain capacity to "engineer" anything.

This is the philosophy I follow

Occam's razor - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
"This philosophical razor advocates that when presented with competing hypotheses about the same prediction and both theories have equal explanatory power one should prefer the hypothesis that requires the fewest assumptions[4] and that this is not meant to be a way of choosing between hypotheses that make different predictions."

What happens in CT weather wise actually has little in power demand, it could be freezing cold down there and it might go up a schooch :p

Yes I realised that after our week of storms last year in July or thereabouts. Still don't understand that - we must be the third-biggest power user after Gauteng and KZN. But we don't have mines or really a manufacturing industry down here... :unsure:

You don't have a Soweto or Durbs' problems either.

Interesting looking at they used about 10 to 12 OCGTs, but Tuesday nights indicate we were back at over 28GW with only 7 used, so there might've been a hiccup on Monday, remember they did say they were waiting on 1.2GW to return Monday evening.

Decent showing from it yes, but that is just supplementary, it won't effect the call to LS or not. I think cause it's April the new budget is in, burn the diesel when needed (which is what was done in the past)

I was referring to the less OCGT usage last night, I never mentioned LS not even once.
