Did they actually have 11:30 hours or was it the extended times?

The numbers are not correct. Considering all the numbers provided, the logical explanation is that they are lying about EA. LS 6, plus LC 4, plus 14 OCGT, is more in line with a much lower actual EA. My calculation based on the given numbers puts EA at 22GW.

This actually has a decent reading and explanation of the 11h30 slots.

Station build-up for the last 7 days - Eskom Data Portal
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.

You know you have f***ed up badly, when there is a Wikipedia article describing every detail...
Our zone 11 in CT varies a lot (and we rarely use the extra 30 mins), but is currently scheduled for a straight 11h30 on Sat 3rd, assuming stage 6 is maintained:
02:00 to 06:30 (4h30)
12:00 to 14h30
16:00 to 22:30 (4h30)
P.S. And the forecast is for cold, wet and windy...
Have you learnt nothing?

Yes. In the same zone as you. Absolutely livid we had a 8pm-midnight yesterday and 2am-6am slot this morning and then to top of off, they can't maintain stage 4 between 4pm-8pm anymore so now another 4h slot from 6pm.

It would've been a 2am to 5am slot as it switches to stage 4 at 5

Nah. Under stage 3/4, it's a 4-6am slot but stage 6 adds the previous slot before that.
