Almost 15k MW down unexpectedly... if this was peak work time we would have stage 4-6...
That's a fair amount to be short by. Might make things worse for next week?

City of Cape Town customers to be on stage 1 load shedding as country moves to stage 2
As Eskom announced stage 2 load shedding from midday today until 11pm on Sunday, the City of Cape Town said its customers would be on stage 1.www.iol.co.za
Koeberg is owned by eskom, COCT uses the steenbras hydro system to generate there own electricty, they own the steenbras hydro system.Interesting given that one of the unitsis down in koeberg(or did they fix the steam thing)
Sorry, I don't work for ESKOM nor COCT or any other ANC SOE for that matterInteresting given that one of the unitsis down in koeberg(or did they fix the steam thing)
Should've been happening, but since the ANC took over they've just found more ways of pilfering and looting. I mean they like to blame the DA run time period for the worse wear and tear, yet they could've tried to sort IPPs, I mean there is Pretoria West, Kelvin and another one out in Pretoria that could be used.I wonder when COJ/ekurhuleni will start to buy independent power to bypass eishkom
Load shedding notifier, but if they don't show up it means most will have it wrong.Eskom se Push got my schedule wrong again, and my suburb no longer appears on the Eskom site. What other loadshedding app can I try?
Tks, this one has the correct scheduleLoad shedding notifier, but if they don't show up it means most will have it wrong.
Our provider get's it wrong themselves sometimes.I never bother with Apps, they often get it wrong
Here in Cape Town I always have this Tab open

Which one Mandela, Mbeki, Zuma? Cause Load shedding started at the end of Mbeki's era, so that would mean the rot was there already. Sure Zuma did nothing at all, but it wasn't him.Only now?
PS - they are doing their jobs. This problem cannot be solved in the short term and was created by the last administration.

True, I mean they started work on the two big power stations that were supposed to go online in 2013/2015/2018 yet right through Zumas administration nothing. Ramaphosa seems like he might actually end up being worse off, as he's done even less then Zuma.Fair enough. It was made worse by his administration though. Had they done something about it then; we could have been in a better position now.

Did you forget CR was the deputy president right? You know he had some influence, he was also in charge of the load shedding enquiries. So far CR is great at doing one thing, which is absolutely nothing. He's not done a single thing that is worthwhile.I hate the ANC as much as most people on this forum, but it's a bit hard for CR to do a moderately decent job when Zuma literally broke the country. CR is the best of that rubbish lot, but ANY party in SA would have difficulties dealing with the mess that Zuma left behind.
