Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 21:00 tonight until 05:00 on Tuesday

[MirageF1]

The entire ANC must be loadshed for perpetuity.
They are the biggest problem this country has.

 

[Lupus]

Please call it what it is: blackouts

That's because it is not blackouts... A blackout is when the entire grid goes down, load shedding is to try prevent that.

A temporary blackout to prevent an entire blackout.

It's a rolling blackout...

 

[Lupus]

A temporary blackout to prevent an entire blackout.

Which is load shedding, this isn't a new term nor is it something made up by Eskom.

Okay, Mr Yelland.

It boggles my mind that we have close to half of our installed capacity out of action at any moment in this country.

It's summer and they have to cut the power... what rubbish. And we'll have to put up with this for at least 2 more years... We can only pray that come 2024 we find the ANC in the opposition benches.

Until then we'll have to deal with the local terrorists who are breaking stuff so they can earn money and keep the status quo going.

 

[Gtx Gaming]

Probably all the digital vuvuzelas at the SONA event that requires an extra 4000MW to produce the blaaaring noise.

Ok yes that's coming up they can't shed during that time so they have to have all reverses ready to go

2 more years, they've been saying 2 more years since 2007, though to be fair 2009 to 2014 there was limited load shedding, 2015 was pretty bad, fro 2016 to 2018 there wasn't much.

It's okay, he doesn't understand. He has lupus.

 

[Iamn0tageek]

Ag jinne no man. If it's not the heat then it's Eskom

I don't approve.

 

[Lupus]

It's okay, he doesn't understand. He has lupus.

A rolling blackout/load shedding isn't a blackout.

Dats raycist.

Where's @Lupus to explain why it's loadshedding. He's right but f*kit it should be "Rotational load blackouts" or something harsher sounding. Loadshedding sounds like a temporary problem because of a short-term lack of capacity, which it is, but on and off for bloody 15 years to varying degrees of intensity.

 

[joshuatree]

Let's hope certain parts of Pretoria&Johannesburg do not go offline again after their load shedding slots.

We never hear in the media of the problematic small towns where it happens as well - and it does.

 

[Hansolo]

Ffffffffffml so this is going to happen every day now? Just do it for the week so we don't get caught unaware.

 

[Gtx Gaming]

This is a lot of diesel
Evening Peak Feedback
Total demand: 29 468MW
Eskom Available Capacity: 28 765MW
Eskom OCGT's Utilised: 20
IPP OCGT's Used: 6

They burned some diesel tonight, maxed out!

 

[Thor]

Blackouts are going to be here throughout February and March, no doubt.

 

[Mr Smooth]

Nothing surprises me anymore about these clowns.
Don’t expect anything good, that way you won’t be disappointed or angry.
