Gqeberhaha is so crap at service delivery that they can't even load shed properly...

Allegedly some internal issues. Don't know if some are happy with the new governance??

But yeah, service delivery is generally poor here.

Scrolling back through the updates there hasn’t been any meaningful change in the available generation capacity since this round of load shedding started around the 6th.

2 to 4GW better in some cases?

And it seems like the OCGT use is slowly dropping? But we are never far away from a bunch of trips.

In some cases briefly, only for it to fall again. We’re hovering around the same levels we were at the start of the month.
On 05/09 there was 27,888MW available. In the latest update it was 27,745MW. It just doesn’t feel like real progress has been made and we are just treading water at the moment.

We can hope that the system is less vulnerable to failures now than it was at the start of the month but I’m not sure I’d believe it if someone said so.

Demand should be going down, but yeah generation went down dramatically during the stage 6 and 5 weeks

Will see, the cold seems to drive up demand more than heat, a lot of people use fans not aircons and fans use far less power than heaters/ovens

and some people use gas for heating..
Thing is its still excess use that we don't see right now, well not all of it.

/me off to clean & prep Swamp coolers (2 x 80W)
