Eskom figures for Saturday night peak period:

Total Demand: 26 758MW

Eskom Available Capacity: 27 608MW

Eskom OCGT’s utilised: 12

From 30000mw to 27000mw, not looking good again :(
Always happens from Friday as if the guys want extra overtime. Cause I mean look at last week as well, Thursday over 30, Friday it was 28 and so on. Look at this week same pattern.

I'm so glad they're

I'm so glad they're pleased. What a big favour they're doing us by giving us electricity...
Can they send some to PE?

We went without yesterday between 08h00 and 16h00 due to maintenance on the nearby substation, and today at around 19h00 we had a lightning storm move over and now we're in the darkness again.

Or at least sponsor some candles, man...

We missed the effects of the maintenance by about three blocks. That sucks!

Eskom load-shedding ends early

Eskom ended load-shedding at 21:00 on Sunday, eight hours earlier than initially planned, thanks to sufficient recovery in generation capacity.

The state-owned power utility implemented stage 2 load-shedding at 11:00 on Wednesday, 2 February and had planned to continue rotational power cuts until 05:00 on Monday morning.
