I'm with you there. Same goes for people saying the grid will collapse - it most definitely won't- and I do believe Eskom and energy experts who have concurred with Eskom over that. But people want to believe JuJu... so ya.

Bookmarked.This is why my prediction is we won't go about stage 6.
@wingnut771 will tell me I am wrong as soon as we do though

I never said 37GW, I'm saying 35GW. But what if our "available" drops to 22GW?

How will they implement it without a plan before the 1 June?

When in the past have they LS a higher stage than what exists on paper?

These idiots really need to all sit together and decide what their statements to the public are going to be on this thing. They're all over the place.We are saved.

This particular statement is laughable though.

I like it they are embedding the fact that they are openly lying into everyone's memory through repetition.

Eskom CEO confirms the spike in usage when the power goes back on, inverters and batteries could be the reason

Could be the reason? It is one of the reasons, but the biggest is all the other things like geysers and fridges. Things that are used to being able to run all day, now being off 4 to 6 hours a day coming back online. Also lower stages you have up to 10 blocks countrywide coming on, as it seems most muncipalities are on this whole even hour thing, with very few on the odd hours.

This shows how resources were used to build-up the demand over the past 7 days, and it includes both generation and demand side resources that Eskom has contracts with.

System hourly demand and available capacity - Eskom Data Portal
Hourly demand is compared against available capacity, to indicate the amount of surplus/shortfall there was. Available capacity must be matched with the total RSA contracted demand.

I mean that is already a MW higher then a week before.
This still seems to support my points, higher demand on a Sunday night then a Saturday?
