poweralert stage 2.....

[DarkSt0rm]

Those stubborn lost units finally came online

Also seems they suspended load shedding again last night, I didn't go off from 2 to 4

Missed my 0000 to 0200 slot too.

Missed my 0000 to 0200 slot too.

Yeah something is definitely up

 

[Grieta Thanburg]

Okay, whatever number is needed (32GW?) to end loadshitting.

We cannot allow this. Think of the children 2024 elections

Well you'd need 10 to 15% over demand to be safe, over generation can be just as bad as under generation

Okay, whatever number is needed (32GW?) to end loadshitting.

Depends on the season of course. At current power generation numbers (30GW+) would most likely end LS in summer. It hangs around 27-28GW in summer.

When was loadshedding suspended? Just waking up and see we missed out 0600 to 0800 slot too

In summer it can be as low as 22 remember December is in our summer

They claim from 8am

 

[Pak Fa Fui]

They caught the corrupt Karen Pillay that was sabotaging the power stations so we can expect lower LS from now

Probably ran out of diesel.

Who knows, but seems they've not been hitting the diesel

Did look like they may have used a few, but could also be the other types

Evening Peak 05/06/2023 (18:25)

Yup they seem to roll ipp in with theirs now, so we don't know who's OCGTs used

A fine balance between not showing the Russians their incompetency and keeping us under control - my guess anyway.

It's looking stronger and stronger that we are enjoying the new schedules.

Yes winter, then when demand is lower in summer they can do maintenance, you know, like they've been doing for the last 100 years.

I retract my demand, the 2024 elections are more important.

 

[Brian_G]

Maybe but not about that. They'll hardly make any difference, maybe a discount of about 1 in 6 LS sessions in a day and not at the lower stages.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

My Latin is not very good like my English, what does this mean

 

[Priapus]

Told you guys; it's fixed. No more Stage 6 and what what
