The problem is, it's the newer stations that have broken down more. The older stations showed a better EAF, also one of the oldest has the highest, this is mostly still management and corruption issues.
Indeed. A simple trip should be overcome in a couple of days as far as I understand it.
Not if the person who tripped it isn't compensated to untrip it.
Is that oldest station’s coal delivered by truck?
Again, what's needed is a public representative body to monitor all progress.
It’s called SCOPA. Unfortunately, it’s full of mouth breathers.
Good point, I don't actually know, technically none of the power stations should be delivered by trucks, but we know they constantly have conveyor issues.
They were getting there, we had more visibility on what was going on, but after Andre left it's all closing back up.
Get rid of the trucks and EAF will increase overnight.
that's a large cost per kWh considering the amount of fuel those things use.
Probably to assist steenbas?Ah I see only 40MW
Considering it's low power output does anyone know if they're even used?
Holy crap. We went to the lowveld over the long weekend. That N4 power station route was basically a non-stop queue of coal trucks.
Higher stages leading to higher demand again.
That was supposed to be your first clue.
Next you'll be telling me we're all getting power for flapping-queen Charles' inauguration on Sat.
It's a bit too late for them to do anything meaningful. They are honestly incapable of solving this problem even if you take away the infighting around JET and coal. And then the comrades seem to be suffering some sort of paralysis on who among them get to benefit from the billions likely to flow when these projects get going. So, the result is nothing meaningful ends up happening.
