So, since 2018, it's gotten worse, YoY - and we're meant to believe it will suddenly get better this year or the next?

Yes cause this time they have a Plan. /s

The GWh shed for last year and now is all the other years combined and then some.

I would actually hazard a guess that eskom has the best network management team in the world in relation to preventing complete grid collapse.

Anyone got any info regarding this?

Power is ALWAYS on. I packed away my UPS for my fibre routers because uptime is over 3 months already no power outage.

Did they all walk out because the weather was bad and they won't entertain any meetings about improving power issues until it was resolved?

Didn't you mention that they walked out due to a gender abuse issue?

@B-1
No, it was this guy;

Apparently the ANC walked out of the meeting. They did, but they didn't but they did, but they didn't (same old ANC stuff)
The ANC: "don't look to blame us, we are also here asking Eskom for answers!"
Literally everyone else: "... but, dude, you run Eskom..."
The ANC: "No, NOOO! We also want to know, it was Eskom!"
Literally everyone else: "... but, you run Eskom, you're it's boss..."
*ANC proceeds to walk out of the meeting*

Literally everybody else: "Dude, where are you going?"
The ANC: "Hey wena, the DA spoke some GBV bad things, they are bad! Everything stops now! We respect wimmin!"
Literally everyone else: "Wait, what?"
The ANC: "They said some bad things about wimmins! That's why we left the meeting!"

you cannot make this sheit up

This article gives a bit of background.

It is made up of around 400 people, which includes engineers, technicians, and computer scientists, working across the sectors of national control, technical operations, the grid code, and demand response.

Most of these employees have either BTech or BSc qualifications, Eskom said.

Shoprite spends R560m on diesel as interim sales rise 11%

Growth was mainly due to price increases, not volumes, underscoring the rising costs of doing business in SA

I wonder if they have any plans on moving over to solar to at least mitigate some of that cost.

lmao, just the city of Durban has higher peak (1,680MW) than most of the countries on that list.

Problem with Shoprite is it's budget based, so not sure their shops are in the safest areas re solar panels theft.
