Yeah, this is why I kinda agree with eff on shutting down our coal exports.... we're being forced by eu and west wef cultists to go green cos 'climate', in turn adding to our already insane prices and adding to the **** of an already ****ed grind while they buy up all our coal on the cheap cos their green programs have failed.

Way I see it, coal mafias aren't interested if eskom burns coal or not as they make more by exporting, so they are happy to let the diesel mafias sabotage the plants so more diesel is required... need to force them into over stocked situation with no where to sell but to eskom where they are back to keeping eskom plants running and burning coal and out of diesel mafias hands... and so, reducing loadshedding

That's not why EFF wants to block exports. They think Eskom doesn't have enough because it's all being exported and is the reason for the loadshitting.

Oh, I get that... but thats why I want them to block exports... to stick it to the cultists dictating to us what we must do while not doing it themselves

There's no ways they're that dumb...

Only using 2 OCGTs...hmmmm. And that appears to be Stage 6 LS to me, although probably because they put Stage 4 or what "load curtailment" for big users that it was able to "only" shed at Stage 5 for normal users.

Wouldn't be surprised if the OCGTs are all down for maintenance, Akerlig is only back around the 15th, guess Gourikwa is down now too.

Station build-up for yesterday - Eskom Data Portal

This shows how resources were used to build-up the demand yesterday, and it includes both generation and demand side resources that Eskom has contracts with.

Yeah, 2.5GW.

 

[Lupus]

Yeah, 2.5GW.

Pity it won't lower the stages of load shedding, just give Eskom a bit of room to fix things... I mean the last part is sarcasm

The diff is that we don't filter properly, not so much that we use coal.
Well that and also that SA power use dirty coal and export the good sht, kinda the same thing we do with anything really.

This is also a catch-22, keep the good quality but lose on export vs using crap and getting in-flow of foreign currency helping us import other commodities. Just have to look over at Sri Lanka to see what happens when your country doesn't have foreign currency.

Many of our stations can't handle higher grade coal, it burns too hot and will cause even more damage.

They're actually not, but their voters are. By making it out to be the fault of corporate greed advances their political agenda.

They were designed for the **** coal, unlike our ANC built crown jewel ones that don't work - I wonder why /s
