I thought 10 to 12 is for pumping back uphill.

Maybe they think 4 to 6 is to send it downhill

More like from 10pm to 6am.
Here you can see pumped storage being used throughout the day, also diesel:

You'd think they could use 12 to 5am to pump?

Yeah I know, but it starts ramping up and cooling down, hence it's all called peak.

Yeah, 4pm-8pm is peak, so who knows why they need 8 hours of blackouts.

Yup I have no idea myself to be honest :-( not sure why 10 to 12 is needed, I mean hell 4 to 6 isn't really needed, should be 6 to 10 but hey.

We will see with the next chart later today how much emergency reserves were used yesterday, then compare that to today's values when it's updated tomorrow.
Yesterday it updated around 4pm:

Nah, you still have more chance of predicting load shedding than winning R20 on the lotto. I mean there is like a 75% chance, notice the "energy" experts are all quiet, or perhaps they all blocked me.
