Until tomorrow, when demand is back up to 29GW

Hopefully we can get that up to 35GW on SONA day.

Until tomorrow, when demand is back up to 29GW

The generation is still sitting at 25GW which it has not been for while

Hopefully we can get that up to 35GW on SONA day.

Unless it is cold doubt it

I can only imagine the amount of diesel getting burned today to suspend loadshitting:

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, people aren't patriotic enough.

Cause of the power alert

 

[Lupus]

See they have declared 25GW generation

 

[wingnut771]

Cause of the power alert

How do you see the level of loadshedding in that graph?

 

[Lupus]

How do you see the level of loadshedding in that graph?

You don't

 

[wingnut771]

You don't

So then how do you know how much diesel they using to stop loadshedding?

I would love to know how they work out the blue line available capacity.

Cause it has declared availability and if the declared availability is higher then the demand that means they aren't using diesel, if the demand exceeds the availability they would be dipping into the max avaliablity on the side, or they'd load shed

 

[Brian_G]

Can't believe it, looks like we're actually gonna reach a full 44 hours without being officially shed

You are so lucky, we're only going to hit 29 hours

 

[Brian_G]

You are so lucky, we're only going to hit 29 hours

You're never lucky with them :- (

 

[Lupus]

You're never lucky with them :- (

Nope we never are, even when they announce a lower stage where we will be skipped, Eskom will then go oh yeah we're going to stage 4 at 12 and guess who's at 12.
Hell we've even had half an hour of load shedding

The green line is still under the blue line when there is stage 6 loadshedding isn't it?

 

[Lupus]

Oooh hell no, when we were on stage 6 that green line was over the blue and red
