We don't have 250GW of generation, more like 35GW and the colours are all wrong. Just compare it to the last one.

WTF

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.

System hourly demand and available capacity - Eskom Data Portal

Hourly demand is compared against available capacity, to indicate the amount of surplus/shortfall there was. Available capacity must be matched with the total RSA contracted demand.

You would think this data is compiled automatically, so the fact that this happens tells me someone is manipulating it and put the comma in the wrong place.

That is why I said a while ago that I do not trust that data.

Too easy to manipulate to show that all is good while it's not.
 
Likely just a mistake in this case though, been a mostly quiet Eskom weekend.

They mentioned on the news about someone kissing someone's ass to ensure there is no stage 6 loadshedding Pravin then said Eskom will do whatever they need to, to lower loadshedding levels for them since the Christians got Christmas and Easter with no loadshedding

I hope that covers Monday night and early Tuesday morning because otherwise I'll basically have no power during that time frame.

I only hope. I have no faith in Eskom. I'll be very thankful for 2hr load shedding this week.

Frog boiling pot. Happy for only about 6 hrs of load shedding a day again. Soon the heat will be going up and I'll be thankful for stage 6 loadshedding.

You have my sympathy and thanks for contributing to lower load shedding stages.

Muslims are in charge of a lot of things in this country, despite their low population numbers. They're important to a lot of people (no denigration implied).
