What is a National Energy Crisis Committee? Is it the same thing as the Eskom War Room?

Is it the same as the NCCC?

 

[wingnut771]

Is it the same as the NCCC?

Probably. I'm sure "The Collective" (NEC) and all their combined wisdom (of strategically separating and not separating Party and State) are involved in both.

Don’t worry. The ANC has a fix before 2024.

Govt plans 3 000MW of gas-fired electricity as part of new power push | Business

Government is planning to launch a procurement process for 3 000MW of gas-fired energy generation - after a 3 000MW gas-to-power proposal to Nersa was turned down in December.

Because energy generated by power ships is extremely expensive, it is usually done on an emergency basis in an environment where a country is at war or a failed state. Government is now interested in exploring a short-term power ship contract.

Yep, we certainly qualify for the powership criteria then.

The problem is there is no failed State in the world that uses as much power as we do.

20th started with 19GW and ended with 18GW, I wonder how many days left of diesel there are:

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 wouldn't put it past them for them to run diesel harder tomorrow just to save face and drop to stage 2 like they said.

Gwede would love for us to join such illustrious company.

If this deal goes through then it's literally a confession to the world from the ANC that they oversaw the country becoming failed state. I somehow doubt they realise this...

If the deal goes through they will still fail to implement it and won't change a thing even if they do manage to.

Didnt Eskom have to supply fuel for them to run as well? The deal was just for the generators iirc
