That's pretty high for summer it must be said. It usually bobbles around 27-29GW.

It is all the battery backup systems that people install that now increases demand when power is on again. I makes loadshedding useless and higher stages needed.
We need higher tax on these things

They still call it stage 6 , when its clearly not


We still moving to stage 4 tomorow right?

I've been watching the grid voltage and it has a nice ramp-up today. I wonder what it looks like on other substations?

Thursday was when we were supposedly moving to Stage 4

Voltage is local grid specific and has nothing really to do with load shedding. Frequency is what should be the same on the entire grid

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Load shedding at 7,000MW but still on stage 6. Last week was load shedding at 1,000MW or whatever but on stage 4.

You guys are wasting your time analysing those graphs and posting tweets, it means nothing. They're just doing whatever...

Don't worry, Baas De Ruyter said - "Eskom is doing everything in their POWER to reduce loadshedding"......

You can't loadshed me...I loadshed myself.

Solar Tax I guess

The future is now

@Lupus are the GT's those small plants you were talking about btw? Just noticed them now for the first time lol

I know thats why I said I wonder what other substations are like. This is more an indicator of load on the substation and the discussion about batteries having a negative effect.

Grabbamint will never give up their taxes on solar stuff.

I am assuming so, and so are twitterers? Tweeters? It would make sense to separate them as Port Rex and Acacia are only 57MW per unit so it would only be 160MW or so for the 3 of them running, seeing as they are listed as 3 I'm assuming it's Port Rex as Acacia is apparently closed due to being backup for Koeberg at the moemnt.

Mines been holding around 230 for the last week or so, though in the past before massive amounts of load shedding like we see now it was 220 or so. But that isn't an indication either as Enzo stays down the road and his substation is balls.

 

[Genisys]

How is it still stage 6 with more then 7000 being loadshed? Am I missing something?
