That's not what he is talking about. Look at manual load reduction part of graph. Far below 6000MW

Graph is for yesterday, keep that in mind

 

[The_Librarian]

Bloody hell. Where did it go?
I see a total of 18 041MW is offline. Imagine if it was not? We'd have no more LS.

Stolen by the ANC and commissioned for Nkandla.

Them firepool pumps and heaters draw quite a lot of electricity.

What that tells me is that Eskom are asking for 6GW but the municipalities are only delivering 3GW of reduction for whatever reasons (exemptions for creaking infrastructure etc?)
So they're asking for more than they need so they can get what they need?

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.

Yeah those numbers are fudged, though you can see the drop on Tuesday in coal, but not 5GW worth

When you say drop, it is still higher than the day before.

What meeting

So.... a joke I fell for, in one of the covid news threads..

 

[Paulsie]

So, leaving on a 2wk overseas trip on Saturday.
Not sure whether to be exited, as I won't have to worry about electricity over there, or anxious, as I'll have to worry about electricity in my business over here.
