Hmm did anyones power come back before 12pm

Yes, 10 to 11:40am. I was confused and thought the neighbour was fixing their alarm so I still only switched over at 12:05.

TFW there's an endurance race to watch at 4PM but LS would've cut the first two hours.

How fortuitous.

The looters and saboteurs must have grown weary of loadshedding xD Running those generators is cutting into their stealings

Keen to see the graphs.

Mostly seems to be how they (ab)use the OCGTs

and yet 0 were used yesterday.

Nice to have no loadshedding.

What happened? Have they utilized farts from Mantashe and hot air from Mpofu and Rama to generate power?

Weird power alert actually dropped 300MW

The weekend phd engineer in control of my switch was probably at the drivethru

It's what media gets though

Yup. Are we really to believe that they somehow recovered 4000MW between now and yesterday, when they sent out the press release? I guess they could be burning the OCGTs now, but that's about 2GW, so let's be kind and assume they recovered 2GW baseload in less than 24 hours. Yeah right.

I'm sure they will get a salary increase next week

OCGTs are almost 3GW plus the almost 1GW from ipp it's possible

But it regularly shoots back to S6 Monday

S6 --> S0 --> S6... nah, even industry can't do that.

 

[Brian_G]

Could be Jo'burg's weather though, came right today ;- )
