Units seem to have come back online, but they just don't seem to want to end the Stage 6.

Stats looks think stage 4 is fine, if they pumped storage ready as an backup. Not sure how much diesel is left
Must be preparing for the industrial customers to open again next week (tho I thought they were already open going by demand)

Demand has looked about normal to be honest.
Was thinking about the days when we were outraged over stage 2 (tho to be fair, JHB had 4-hour stage slots back then). Was getting a bit teary last night thinking about how far this country has fallen. Feels so **** to have to seek a better life in a different country nowHow sad are things when we have to hope for Stage 4
It's what I thought as well... Unless it suddenly goes up to 32000 on Monday :sweat:

If you really want some depressing reading, then just read some of the annual reports from the early 1990's to see how Eskom was thriving ..... https://www.eskom.co.za/heritage/annual-and-statistical-reports/
Been there, done that. if you want some real suicide-provoking stuff, look at their forecasts for the rest of the year. There is no way out.If you really want some depressing reading, then just read some of the annual reports from the early 1990's to see how Eskom was thriving ..... https://www.eskom.co.za/heritage/annual-and-statistical-reports/

Amazing how we have become the frog in the water... we're happy with just lower stages of load shedding...
It's eventually what happens in an abusive relationship. Forget about the good days and just pray for the less bad ones. The whole country must be a ****ing dream sample group for anyone studying Stockholm syndrome and the like

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.

I honestly think they are going "short term pain for long term gain". Basically keep us at stage 6 for as long as is tolerable to do more advanced repairs, rather than putting a band aid on it. At least, I hope that's the case...
