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.

Wernt there only 5 IPP OCGTs, or am I being a goldfish...

Edit: Yeah there were only 5. Guess a new one has been built with more on the way :)

Nope there have always been 6. They just don't seem to use them all the time. They did use 10 of theirs, but they said 5 were out from Ankerlig till March so it must have been 6 from Gourikwa and 1 from Ankerlig plus they've put the 3 from Acacia into them

Looks like the 2000mw buffer is not a thing anymore.

How do you come by that?
28801 - 3918 - 308 = 24575
24770 + 1050 (7xdiesel OCGTs) + 150 (3 kereosene) = 25970 (eskom side) + 900 (6 IPP OCGTs) = 26870
2295 buffer, plus the renewables for gravy.

Are you sure about that? Went pretty far back in his tweets and haven't seen 6 before

Did anybody else's load shedding schedule also shifted 4 hours earlier? Normally once or twice a week the schedule change and every shift is then 2 hours earlier. But today it changed 4 hours earlier. Had load shedding 8pm till 10pm and then 2 hours later again at 00:00.
Todays evening shift that was 8pm and supposed to be 6pm, now starts at 4pm

Today is a new month so the schedule resets to the first day of the month and thus the 1st day of the schedule.


Am I by any chance talking to the person who once did a November 31st on December 1st at City Power?

As noted above, most schedules use a 16/32 day cycle (2 hours earlier every 4 days), but revert to the 1st day at month end. Since February has 28 days, this is equivalent to a 4 hour shift at month end (every other month end is 2 hours earlier).
