Update on diesel situation. Only R3.6bn left in the kitty (basically a month and a bit):

Billions blown — Eskom on track to overshoot emergency diesel budget for year

Eskom is devouring diesel to run its emergency generation fleet — which was intended only for dire emergencies or use during peak demand periods.

In May, Daily Maverick reported Eskom had blown R12.4-billion on diesel in just four months. To put this into perspective, it took eight months for Eskom to spend R12-billion on diesel last year. With R24.3-billion blown as of 28 November, this means its diesel expenditure has more than doubled for the same period this year.

All that these morons understand is if its finished or not. They don't have the brain capacity to ration or budget. Its not finished yet therefore there is no problem.

Everything is going swimmingly for the elections next year.

So, it's going to be a rough start to the new year. No idea what they going to do from Jan - April when the new budget is allocated.

How can this be sustainable?

Sorry to hear. A mate down the road from me has been without power for 48hrs now and they don't even have it on the "list of repairs" to be doing.

To add insult to injury; his inverter got hit by lightning last week. They replace it yesterday - but it can't be switched on a setup, without grid power. So, batteries and panels just chilling...

Freaking hell that really sucks :-(, for me this always seems to happen when it's cloudy and it's always just a few streets around me. I literally saw my neighbours lights go on and the streets light across the road go on, mine remained off.

At least peoples power bills will be super cheap this month. I'm sure CP are aware if they want to make any money from sales.

Yup, cause if it wasn't it would be 1.8, though it was supposed to be offline already from the 24th, guess unit 1 taking so long to come up.

Well, it bounces around between 1.1GW and 1.4GW, up and down. Start of the week, 1.3GW, end of the week, 1.3GW. Good stories I tell you.
