Real reason for drop in Eskom load-shedding

[RonSwanson]

Not really. Just wait for the windy conditions to stop then lets see how much diesel they start using.

Or for their dumploads to overheat, I hear that it's getting pretty hot there

Demand has been dwindling since 2007. We all know Eskom won't be able to keep up.

 

[JustAsk]

Why only the past two weeks? Demand has been trending down for a long time yet that didn't stop load shedding at other times.

During LS, demand is dropping every night but you will have higher LS stages during those times.

This shill is talking kark.

Actually load shedding introduces spikes in demand

A lot of people still think LS gets worse in winter, short memories it seems - it gets better, think the main reason being much less planned maintenance.

 

[Mannydefreitas]

The real reason is Black Excellence you Racists!!!

 

[wingnut771]

A lot of people still think LS gets worse in winter, short memories it seems - it doesn't, think the main reason being much less planed maintenance.

I want to see if demand is still 2000MW down in winter compared to now.

I think that may have been related to Toshen Panday's "accomodation" deal with the ANC that got Johan Booysen fired.

Yup, the only time this was true was back in the yonder times. But LS is worse during spring and summer
