Yeah, they do do things like that...No, they will just save diesel imho. Stage 6 is the new norm.

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.www.eskom.co.za

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.www.eskom.co.za
Really complicated question IMHO.I wonder when we will see coal at 20GW again..
Never again imho. It should be above 20GW with winter units operating.I wonder when we will see coal at 20GW again..
Some time tomorrow afternoon or evening, we will have #loadshed more Gigawatt hours in 2023 year-to-date than the ENTIRE of 2022. Just to highlight how bad things have gotten. 2023 is going to be at least 2.5x 2022 shedding. And SARB thinks we gonna post GDP growth?? pic.twitter.com/PagPzDiOme

And you just know the mentality will be to destroy that substation soon.....We've been without power for 22 hours now. Members from the one informal settlement decided to block access to the substation because they want the settlement to be switched on before the actual town. When power to the town is switched on after load-shedding, it trips because of "overloading", so the municipal electricians need to manually switch on sections one by one.
This is the settlement where only 7% of its residents pay for electricity. The SAPS hasn't done a f**king thing and apparently, our useless mayor was supposed to be here with the council to try and find a way to settle the matter. We're still waiting for her or anyone else to do something. The CPF can't do anything and the SAPS won't do anything. Loadshedding starts at 16:00.
I hate this f**cking place![]()
people start cooking dinnerWhat is causing the demand peaks so consistently at 6am and 6pm
What is causing the demand peaks so consistently at 6am and 6pm
Got a couple of power banks at home that I'm planning on keeping charged too. I need to get something else for my internet connection. The Gizzu lasted until 04:15 this morning and since we have no power in town, the Vodacom towers are offline tooI dont know about everyone else but these days as soon as the power is on i make sure phones and batteries are all charged up... Because you never know next time it goes off... If it will come back on again...
So those that say households only use 7% of power generated are telling fibspeople start cooking dinner
people wake up and make coffee/breakfast.
That all depends.So those that say households only use 7% of power generated are telling fibs
Peak doesn't mean ultimate daily peak.So those that say households only use 7% of power generated are telling fibs
