Mydorpie;

FRIDAY: No load-shedding currently but load-reduction in some regions of five provinces according to Eskom.

 

[Brian_G]

How long until these load-reduction areas start rioting?

They are the reason they get load reduced in the first place, if they didn't have so many illegal connections they'd be fine.

Quite sure that if they make enough fuss their voting power will win again.

They've made fuss, Eskom has just refused to do anything about it, they will pull their engineers out of troubled areas.
Eskom looks like they've had enough now.

 

[Brian_G]

Why do they sometimes do this turning off for a few seconds only thing?!?! $^%&%$#@

Huh?

 

[wingnut771]

Huh?

Probably talking about where the power drops for a second and your pc reboots. More like a local issue than Eskom doing something.

Oooooh a brown out, that's normally on the local grid.

Really kills the workflow.

 

[Nike7]

Really kills the workflow.

And your electronics.

 

[Brian_G]

Yeah, after all that LS you'd think they'd leave us alone :- (
Long and short "Maintenance", brown outs, what next??

LS is probably the cause

 

[Brian_G]

Can't recall... does the LS blame now shift from Jo'burg to CT as they start to use aircons more?

Low coal generation on Monday, wind saving us:

Wind doesn't get counted in the overall Eskom generation in Sikhonati tweets, also Monday we were 4GW over demand.
