At least the cards are now on the table. Maybe

They sound more like a stuck record.

I know Ramaphosa is useless but at least there is something on the table. Just imagine if NDZ was president. Literally there would be nothing, not even a plan.

I wonder if De Ruyter is going a bit rogue with the comments coming from the anc it seems like he's not got the full support for some of the things he says.

Where is this figure?

There is a breakdown of the planned maintenance over the course of this year (week by week) floating around somewhere. It is usually shown when looking at risk scenarios.

What is the current plan? All I've seen are high level points that should form part of any business. I've yet to see anything concrete or a target of some sort.

I think he keeps trying to. Like last week's press conference that got cancelled by the Squirrel.

What is this something? All I hear is talk, plans, more talk and more plans. I've been hearing it since he was DP when he was in the "War Room".

The EAF measure published earlier is a quantifiable and easily measured target: 60% EAF by March 2023, 65% by March 2024 and 70% by March 2025.

Eskom should create a youtube channel so the public can watch when they do this maintenance.

 

[Brian_G]

It's a strategy game by the looks of it. anc maybe waking up now, but I wouldn't bet on it yet.

More plans. Got anything tangible? Anyway, then in 2030 close all the coal?

And won't make any difference to our situation.

Yes that's what Eskom said

Ok, but those take nearly a decade to build. Definitely not a short term option.

Nearly a decade to build one in a first-world nation. Here it will take 30 years and then it will be so riddled with design defects that it will only generate a fraction of it's intended output.

Well, it's not like they can fire him anymore.

As long as he stays away from office coffee he can pretty much say what he wants now.

 

[Vox Populi Vox Dei]

Don't know what this means.

We actually need more reliable generation. The realistic solution is (while I'll get hate for it), Nuclear.

Unfortunately not an option. Medupi and Kusile's a shining example of mismanagement etc.

Now take a shufty at Hinkley Point C, and imagine the ANC in charge of that. Plus keep Medupi and Kusile also firmly in mind.

Yep. Not worth it, because it'll be a total stuffup and it'll most probably do a Fukushima/Chernobyl when starting it up.
