We all know it's going to be a lot of 'promises' and BS. After the election, loadshedding will be back and they'll have a million excuses

They did say that 5000mw of private solar had been installed (and then took credit for it), I guess that is enabling them to not run units all day

You mean they are guessing right? As they are claiming a drop in demand but that could also just be explained by businesses closing. As 5GW is over 70% of residential demand

@Brian_G and other conspiracy theorists, they are going to install the generator at Medupi, it is going to add something into the grid, further improving the loadshedding situation.

Just putting it out there so that you can factor it in when you are formulating your legendary tall tales.

I'm curious to know why eskom chooses to only use IPP OCGTs some days.

Apparently it can work out cheaper for the IPPs, though that was the Spokespersons comment a few years back.
EAF up until Wednesday still tracking okay

If it keeps it up, this will be the first month in a looooong time that sits at 58%

There was June last year if I remember correctly, but I think it was just just on 58%, but yeah look even 2022 wasn't a great EAF, 2022 only managed that cause of COVID.
But according to the conspiracy theorists they are running all the diesel and not maintaining anything. It's only 2% lower then last years maintenance.
