Those three Kusile units down would add 2.4GW. Rather frustrating...surely that is an "easy win" and will be back in service in a few days?

It would, but so would the units at Kendal, or any of the big ones that are down, the fact that 23GW is down means a lot more are down then they are telling us.

How long do we think Eskom can keep operating like this, until the grid gives up?

Who knows :( you would think they would sort out maintenance as it clearly isn't doing jack

I think it takes years worth of maintenance - good maintenance at that, to see the results of it, with these things.

We've all forgotten the union problem, can't get competent personnel hired. Seems to be the key factor.
 
Another question is, why is it suddenly so bad everywhere, why did this poor service survive so long everywhere? Other things must be going on. Sabotage as well.

Agreed with previous posts, very little skills and know-how combined with years and years of running machinery without proper care and maintenance.

Another big factor IMO is the fact that there is "bad coal" being fed into very delicate machinery as a result of the coal crime syndicate plaguing us - which just exacerbates things.

I guess to the question why did we survive so long until now - well.. eventually all of the above is going to catch up and we're just the lucky ones to be here when it did.
