Stage 2 load-shedding for Tuesday

[Jan]

Load-shedding continues until further notice

Eskom has announced that load-shedding was reduced to stage 2 at 05:00 on Tuesday, 25 February. Stage 2 power cuts will remain in effect until further notice.

"This decision follows the successful recovery of eight out of ten generation units and the restoration of 3,808MW from units that tripped over the weekend, with an additional 1,146MW expected to be recovered overnight," the power utility said.

With those numbers we're actually better off than last week, yet still stage 2 wtaf

Did they not burn diesel or wouldn't they need it now to make up the buffer? But yeah load shedding should be suspended after 11pm.

Didn’t they say the same 8 out of 10 units recovered statement when they dropped from stage 6 to 4?

yup

So we're missing information, or the info has been "scrambled", or both, or what?

They did, but technically with those numbers we are better off, lets see if it is suspended by 11

Nah - more likely is that the 30 percenter publishing the updates used CTRL-C / CTRL-V on one of the previous releases to compile the latest one without 'reading' it properly first...

This new Eskom regime doesn't run multiple stages like the previous one so if they're shedding they'll keep it at 2.

Usually was eventually trickled down to 1 first after an emergency though.

Apparently so, cause they should've had stage 6 on Saturday and Stage 3 on Sunday looking at the data.

Since it started last week, we haven't had load shedding in the Industrial area where business is, even when scheduled.

I am hopeful Eskom has figured a schedule prioritising industrial/manufacturing areas.

I live in JHB, it was pretty much the same :-(. Actually I lie, some of the lights that were off for weeks on end, were actually on yesterday.
