poweralert stage 2.....

[Brian_G]

I find it interesting that JHB will still be stage 4 on Sunday, weather and breakdowns probably

Yep, it's been months since they drop the evening regularly as well on weekends. Maybe more reliance on pumped storage now so more always needs to be pumped back in the early hours - @wingnut771 ?

Technically even stage 2 is to high now

Something wrong with my app
Its showing 30 min LS every day at midnight, so that slot is the anomaly

Apologies. I forget that few of the authorities etc. involved are reliable.

Am I the only one who is mildly distressed that their numbers are complete BS these days? 33168 - 27718 = 5450 **** knows where they are getting 6684 from

I was just about to post it. Unexpected given the performance up to now.

Pumped storage is back to 2.2GW.

Regularly at night?

Yes, every night, on the 30th it was from 9pm to 4am

And the press say nothing.. not mainstream media anyway

Maybe we have to include the buffer?

They too dumb.

Buffer would be the OCGTs

Unless Zuma's grandchildren own them or something

 

[wingnut771]

Buffer would be the OCGTs

What if all OCGTs are being used, that buffer.

Then we'd be on stage made up number
