I think it's part of Karpower contract that we must use their fuel so they can coin it.

Of course

But it looks like they negotiated for R1.50/W from the ships so it is lower than what eakom charge us

Out of interest, does anyone know what the 50% of eskoms broken generation actually is? That number hasn't really changed as long as I can remember and it's got me wondering what it actually is. I'm assuming kusile/koeburg is in that number, but I was looking through Eskoms fleet and most of what they list is running or in "unplanned breakdown".

Linked to the gas price/exchange rate at the time. Probably like R5 now.

23000MW.

I mean what stations/sources because I can't find enough stations in Eskoms list to generate that much missing capacity

Good question. Probably all of them.

MO Electricity had in detail explained the issues plaguing everyone of the 81 power stations and not all are the same
The press conference might be online somewhere

I really don't like how they are 2 days behind with the numbers now, reeks of information control.

I do love how it must be melting their brains though.

But it's better then the 24s we've had, would have been nice if we had this over summer

Who's to say we aren't back there already?

No idea

No idea

This is looking better than yesterday's 24GW at least:

 

[Vorastra]

So we can import natural gas but we can't use our offshore gas field. Brilliant

Think of the whales.

 

[Grieta Thanburg]

Gwede is obese, yes, but no need to call him a whale. That's just hurtful.
