Stage 1 loadshedding from 9am Monday

[Sinbad]

But it was 9.5GW around a week ago and we had Stage 2.

The key variable you are overlooking is the planned outage/maintenance figure, which is not static.

 

[dabbler]

.... Everything will be back to stage 2 on Friday.

... and of course, the weekend

 

[Geoff.D]

Ja, check the Parliamentary calendar and the ANC NEC calendar for days when no LS will be implemented. Simple.

 

[Former member 61586]

So what is your solution? Or, are you completely happy with LS as a long term reality?

Are you blind? My solution was there. Keep it at stage 2. Fix the fcking things. Long term load shedding is a reality whether the emergency stuff is used or not. At least by not using the emergency stuff, they dont rack up more debt.

One reason Eskom burn diesel 24/7 is they can pass on this cost directly to the consumer through tariff clawbacks.

It also benefits the economy to the tune of R20-R50 per kWh to avoid load shedding (CSIR study).

So a business that is bleeding money, must produce something for R1, and sell it for 50c for the greater good?

Your so-called solution is just a knee-jerk reaction, hence why I gave you a chance to think about it before you became personal.

Go and read the CSIR report and think about what it costs Eskom to produce a kWh then come back with silly comments.
Better still go and swot up contribution accounting principles as well.

Milo Minderbinder would have been proud of you.

Go tell your children to study. Not me. I am learned enough.

Interesting that according to Mazzone, parliament does experience load-shedding:

High probability of load shedding tomorrow so yeah SONA over

 

[Vox Populi Vox Dei]

Yeah saw that. They've put up the planned maintenance figure as well, at 7000MW.

Yup since this morning and they're actually reporting it.

 

[Geoff.D]

Surprised that LS did not already return today. Then I remembered the Presidents Golf Day .....

 

[Geoff.D]

Are you guys to post the notice?

 

[Lupus]

Notice

 

[Temujin]

They need to start investigating the peeps doing repairs and maintenance, something is clearly wrong with the workmanship
