Once bitten (Guptagate), twice shy. So how are we after being bitten about 5 times?
Sadly, some will believe anything

Not great, slight improvement over yesterday but apparently higher demandScreenshot_20240609_114613_Chrome.jpg
 
Hello Mr MBL, you fail to mention Kusile back online that is bypassing the FGD and the permanent 2GW of reduced demand because of reasons....
Demand is over 30GW. It's significant.

Kusile's 3 units are back online. that's a little under 3GW. So by the standards of Eskom under de Ruyter we should be at stage 3-4 with constant diesel burn. Or Stage 6 with no diesel burn.

Why aren't we?

The answer is obvious: generation has improved.

Thanks to Andre's 18 month OEM maintenance plan which has improved EAF.
 
No need for OCGT on 7 Jun if one looks at the demand and available capacity graph:

Hmm quite a bit of OCGT usage on Saturday but they also had the unplanned sitting at 11%, yet EAF still at 64%
