President Ramaphosa explains how government plans to stop load-shedding

Really Uncle Cyril? Now where have I heard this kak before? :unsure:
 
Listen to the language he speaks. He stresses over and over how important it is etc but can't explain why, if its so humungously important to the survival and growth of the economy, they let if get into the current situation in the first place.

There's very little fact or proof but lots of innuendo, they're they're planning, working, restructuring, reducing the impact, making progress, taking steps etc.
He sounds like the proverbial guy caught out, realizing told by others that he's in trouble & now making excuses that he hopes will sound convincing because he's using all the right words.

They.simply.have.no.clue.. He mentions "challenges over the years" that a child with the resources of government behind him/her could have fixed. In 2008 already.

It wouldn't've taken the National Party more than 3 years to fix Eskom, permanently, not even mentioning that they would never have allowed it to get into this position in the first place. They simply wouldn't've allow themselves to become so vulnerable and weak.

Even RamaRename's mighty 'plan' hinges on not fixing anything, but on buying the shortfall from other producers.. What does that tell you?
Think 'It's all about the procurement' in the tune of 'its all about that base".. and.. you know what goes with procurement - cadres looting the **** out of..!!

But relax, his lip-flapping is "representing a huge, fundamental step forward in the implementation of our ambitious energy plan,” Ramaphosa said.
Whew, nothing to worry about folks, the ANC is in charge and the Ramassiah has everything under control. Have they proscecuted their pal Zuma yet? Will they ever?
If you not running for the hills you must've just landed at ORT this morning.

How much will the required batteries cost vs how much diesel you can buy with that money?

It's like buying a diesel car for R20 000 more than the same petrol model, and then taking 6 years before you even start saving money, because that R20 000 could have bought a hell lot of petrol (at whatever price and consumption difference it has with the diesel)
You don't need batteries when the sun shines.
 
Shopping centers went for grid tied by the looks of it :-(
This was my point, completely useless during loadshedding. Building covered in pv but have to run the generator during power outages. Baffles the brain.
 
The amount of hot air coming from squirrel these days should be used to supplement the grid.
