Yeah, whatever eskom. You can't even follow your own schedule. How do you expect us to?

 

[wingnut771]

Can't see these 5 units dropping causing stage 4, more like dams and diesel ran out:

Station build-up for the last 7 days - Eskom Data Portal

This shows how resources were used to build-up the demand over the past 7 days, and it includes both generation and demand side resources that Eskom has contracts with.

Feels like we have hit the point where load shedding will be permanent to some level. If they where as bad as they have been for the past 6 weeks imagine what happens when the coal starts getting wet now that the rainy season has arrived.

Unlike you losers here, I was not shocked at hearing this news.

So presume it's stage 3 still from just 16:00 to 05:00 each day?

Details Eishkom, details........

I get the feeling we will have LS for the remainder of the year.

@PrimeSteak - Do you think this extended LS will have an affect on ANC support at the polls, in '24?

Definitely. It'll just add to the blikseming the ANC is already getting.

Since LS is a daily reminder of the ANC's incompetence.

Job losses happening as well due to loadshedding.

Probably not, they love struggling.

I don't think ANC voters have the brain capacity to make the association between the two.

 

[Agent67]

Yes that as well.
