Back into the 23MWs

And from the announcement

Eskom said it has 6,618MW of capacity on scheduled maintenance, while another 15,996MW is unavailable due to breakdowns.

So 22614 is offline and they are only generating 23700 something... Yeah that's not horrifying at all ...

Wow that's bad. I'm surprised they didn't ramp up a stage or two.

Given the history, fairly sure we'll all agree that stage 3 on Sun. should be treated as a myth. Or it will collapse on Mon./Tue. at best.

Considering last nights numbers... Not even sure how we're on stage 4.

Well we are currently stage 4 now. And 3 on Sunday.

So back to stage 2 by early next week...
We are saved...

No. I didn’t say that, did I?

Just more of the same on-going "mysteries" IMO, but we're clearly going into a dark tunnel either way.

That’s a new low for this month, isn’t it?

 

[Jam Sandwich]

No. I didn’t say that, did I?

No-one said you said that...calm down...

Stage 3 seems reasonable as demand should start dropping if go on last years numbers.

Scary that generation has dropped 6GW since then.

No it`s not a braai, it`s just some extra work to ensure a Christmas bonus for a cadre.

They are willing to burn everything including some generation units to keep the lights on so should be a good Christmas.

I'm just going on numbers. If we have 23000 available and between the 20th and 25th the demand will be below 26000mw (I'm even assuming it will be lower than last year for a few reasons) then maintaining stage 3 is possible.
