Update: Continuous Stage 6 until further notice

[Mekon]

At least it did work for a while, which means we can get back there. Hard but possible.

The cANCer are far to dedicated to feeding their fat pig faces and they don't want to share. So you think anything will change?

 

[Kosmik]

No stage 8 yet?

Let's not jinx ok....

If we don't try....

 

[Fuzzbox]

At least he's devoted to the cause

Well he is not wrong at all.

 

[semaphore]

Not that anymore, coalitions are already happening.

Yeah, cool story. You'll see next year ANC will be fine.

 

[CommonSense]

Nah, they've been quiet for weeks already.

Just as quiet as he was for years whilst towing the ANC line.

 

[CommonSense]

It is clear that a 4 day work week is the way to go. Each time there was a short week, we got a reprieve from LS.

So the solution is clear. Lets go for 4 day work week from now on.

How did demand jump to 29000

 

[wbot]

Thanks anc. Keep on destroying SA

 

[Kosmik]

How did demand jump to 29000

First bit of cold.

How did demand jump to 29000

Demand last night was 31GW,strangely enough falls in line with the higher stages theory

Minister of the electric is the best job because expectations are so low. You literally get paid to go on power station tours and to talk absolute sh1t3. Like is there any real value to this role? We're down the tubes already, could've saved some change along the way

Composing a nice LinkedIn profile no doubt.

And this is with half of Pretoria still out.. Otherwise it would've been stage 7 already.

Called it, said the will hit stage 6 before the weekend

Barely three weeks ago our minister of electricity said:

“I want to give South Africans the assurance that… I don’t foresee us moving to higher, higher stages of load shedding… The highest we’ve gone to is Stage 6… I foresee a position where we won’t go higher than Stage 6”

If one or two more generation units are lost we'll be at historic stage 7 and winter is still two months away.
What does Eskom's diesel fund look like? I recon they're going to run out of money to run OCGTs before year end.

16k MW worth of breakdowns.

Knew this was coming. Now they'll desperately try to avoid stage 7+ but they'll pull another sneaky sneaky. "Oh it wasn't really stage 7 or 8. Ignore those silly numbers."

But yea if demand is already 31k and it's not even winter then we're so screwed.

 

[Lupus]

16k MW worth of breakdowns.

22500 why don't people add the planned ones? Also you do know you could just type 16GW right? Not 16k MW?
