Clearly lamb chops since they can afford Louis Vuitton hand bags.

Steam coming out of a smokestack...

Kusile is a closed-loop setup, so where that steam's coming from is a good question.

Weird looks similar to that, like it might be smoke not steam. Not all smoke is black

So it looks like it's probably one unit out of 6 working, we know 3 are down, 1 is still coming on line, who knows on the fourth.

It's the wet coal burning and giving off steam

If I was in charge of the Medupi/Kusile project, I would've built it with two generators, troubleshoot these until they're working 100%, then expand one unit at a time.

Back to stage 4 and 5 hehehe

Back to 19000MW of breakdowns.

Don't come here with your colonial engineering WMC program management tendencies.

Stage 6 by tomorrow afternoon

Rather odd they can wait until 4 pm tomorrow afternoon to implement Stage 5. Hmm...... can't imagine such a different profile between today and tomorrow.

Unless they know they are taking things offline or there isn't diesel or something. My hopes for nothing more than stage 4 for a few days picked up ever so slightly too, how silly.

Stage 6 by Thursday it looks like

The utility said that it suffered breakdowns of four generating units — one each at Duvha, Lethabo, Majuba and Tutuka power stations — over the past 24 hours.

The switch between stage 3 and 4 was basically stage 4 anyway. This switch is still mostly stage 4, i get one 4 hour block at night

This comes from the "loadshedding notifier" app, it seems to be fairly dynamic so they must be getting the figures from somewhere.
Just wondering how accurate it is.

This was at about 6:30 pm today.

Nah that is just signaling a new Sucker, I mean CEO has been appointed.

That's the same data as EskomSePush and they getting it from Poweralert which is pretty wrong on most occasions from what I've seen

I'm pretty sure most of the data is based on trends, so yea, very wrong when things break on the hour every hour I hope they fix something tonight, ****ing off 1800 to 2200 tomorrow at stage 5, ****ing wonderful...

Cable theft affecting some sections in fourways, sandton and surroundings areas. No power since 2pm. Heading into the 22:00 - 00:30 slot now. Off again tomorrow from 18:00 to 22:30.

This place is nothing less than a joke. Bet rotating black outs makes it way easier to steal some cables as well.
