Still above 60 sure, but I mean why such high planned, that should be down 4% by now which would give the grid a lot more breathing room, also see unplanned went up a %

Maybe Eskom finally realising that it needs to do significant maintenance even if that means stage 1-2?

I've always said I'm prepared to endure prolonged stage 2 provided it's accompanied by that increase in maintenance to actually have the generation capacity improve instead of decline. I imagine most Saffers feel the same. It's insane to push generators to their extreme just to keep the lights on short term like Eskom has been doing.

Who knows? But yeah last year this time it was sitting at 3% lower maintenance but almost 10% higher unplanned.

Now people know why there is loadshitting. That red part has been around 25% for about 10 years now. Probably FUBAR'ed, never to work again and may aswell restructure the "installed capacity" numbers down to reflect that.

Here's an idea, why don't they make the red part yellow?
