It's already stage 8 loadsheddingStage 7 load-shedding warning
Peter Attard Montalto, head of capital markets research at Intellidex, said South Africans should brace themselves for consistent stage 7 load-shedding from July.
What's with the loadshedding text?The trend is certainly showing this as a reality. Even at Stage 6 generators are working hard at some reservoirs, and allowance is not being made for servicing these generators. Stage 7 allows even less time for reservoirs and cellphone tower batteries to recharge. The coming year or two is going to be very interesting. What with the massive price increases for electricity, it has become a no-brainer to put solar and batteries in.
Same thing that happens when coal is not delivered, or you run out of DieselPeter is talking about Wind Energy. What happens if the wind doesn’t blow?
lucky number 7!
Will never happen...
Then prepare yourself for frustration: there is always frustration when there is no blowing.Peter is talking about Wind Energy. What happens if the wind doesn’t blow?
I'm personally not as confident. When the internet dies, sewerage is flowing down the streets, water isn't pumped to houses, the cold distribution chain collapses and inflation takes over, what are 99% of us going to do to?South Africans will make a plan to live without Eskom. It's what we do. We make a plan
65% EAF if I remember correctlyWasn't the latest price increase attached to Terms & Conditions?
Something about 70% of the power must always be provided or something.
Unless I'm mistaken.

Except we domkoppe for not making a plan ages ago to prevent this situation. Letting yourself fall into **** and then praising yourself for being able to clean some **** off yourself isn't much.South Africans will make a plan to live without Eskom. It's what we do. We make a plan
