poweralert stage 2.....

@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.

This may be your toughest thread yet;

How soon after elections will blackouts start?

They should be making friends with the next best producer option for sourcing coal.

What do they do with this coal?

What do they do with this coal?

Which is 'this' coal? ESKOM's?

Think he wants to know if Orania should start / buy their own coal power station.

Can you reword your comment then because I don't know what you're saying.

What is "the next best producer option for sourcing coal."

Yes.

Wouldn't it be cheaper, more durable and more reliable than batteries and panels?

 

[Brian_G]

Yes.

Maybe if they were 10 times the size.

What does the power station do at night?

Why?

Asking as an energy layman.

What prevents them from building a smaller scale processing plant?

Scales of economy, but I'm fully a layman as well.

They could have parties

Economies of scale.

I have never understood the argument for it.

They could have parties

Bigger parties? At everyone else's expense? Maybe that's the argument

Orania would need a close cooperation with Lexiland along with let's say a dozen further "homelands", all willing to live in close proximity to each other, and having a good enough relationship with SA (from whom they've all seceded?) to allow for their feeding back into the Eskom grid (nighttime).

Nah

1.3GW of pumped hydro and 1.3GW of OCGT usage at 6pm peak. Why not use 2.6GW of pumped hydro?

Might not have had it?
There was a 0.4% drop in EAF on Thursday

Why not, they haven't used it hard for a month. You can see the levels are just fine above.

Nah

Sorry, you lost me.

Close co-operations are planned for in every corner of the globe, to make goods and services affordable.

I would expect Orania, The Cape of GH, Lexiland etc. to be well-entrenched in close cooperation, if not by the time of their independence, then soon after.

Also, does your answer explain why you could not construct a smaller version of a coal-powered energy plant?

In terms of distribution across SA, if SAns stand to benefit, their government will respond to that expectation and facilitate mutually beneficial trade with these independents.

Do you think the ANC, post indpendence, would be able to sustain its criminal behavior as though no CI etc. had happened?

Think about it, it would lose its trump card i.e. the race card.

I mean Sasol built their own 880MW plant in Secunda, plus they have Sasol One which is 140MW, plus they have a 140mw gas one. So one company has built enough to power Bloem
