First two weeks of April have had high maintenance vs last year...

So yes EAF is lower, but the maintenance is lower. Hopefully it keeps up as the unplanned did drop to 26%

Andre de Ruyter’s comment about Eskom becoming true

Former Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter claimed that the only reason the lights were on was that the power utility burned diesel at a rate of knots. This is now becoming a reality.

"Eskom revealed that from 1 to 10 April 2025, it spent approximately R1.34 billion on fuel for the Open-Cycle Gas Turbines (OCGTs) fleet." Hairdressers have to eat.

and

"“If the lights are on, it is because they are pouring a considerable amount of money into diesel at a rate of knots,” he said.

His claims were debatable at the time as Eskom’s diesel use was declining. However, recent data shows that this trend has reversed.

The latest year-to-date data, from 1 January to 13 April, showed that Eskom’s average daily diesel usage has increased every year since 2021."

He's still trying, he literally tried the same stunt last year when they weren't even using diesel and the EAF was high. Also does he forget from 2021 to 2023 he was the CEO??

Does this coincide with the level of diesel usage you are seeing? @Lupus

According to the Reserve Bank, six to 12 hours of loadshedding costs the economy between R204 million and R899 million1. Despite these enormous costs, loadshedding increased dramatically through the first quarter of 2023, and the national grid seems unlikely to recover any time soon.
