Eskom didn't get their 20% increase
So loadshedding...........

 

[RonSwanson]

No water for 4 days going on 5 - now this - GREAT !!!!

Water is far more important than electricity. I'd suggest that you start a water thread and update it regularly.

40 minutes after we're scheduled to go off and all my neighbours still have power...

 

[j4ck455]

This comes after a unit each at the Matla, Kendal, Matimba, Kusile and Grootvlei power stations tripped on Monday, while a unit each at Arnot and Hendrina power stations were forced shut down.

eSkommel employees feeling the pinch again after overspending so break a bunch of units and get paid a windfall of overtime.

The “E” in South Africa is for electricity — Eskom load-shedding is back

That cannot be, the "E" is for EISH powowa gone again.

 

[HartsockZA]

When ever someone says they forced a unit shutdown something tells me something went wrong quick and now it definitely broken

Our power was suppose to be off from 00H00-02H30 but only came back on now at 06H15.

Next slot is suppose to be from 08H00-10H30

Yup that is pretty much the entire fleet, which hasn't been used for quite sometime.

Loadshedding until Saturday morning.

[My_King]

I would just like to point out, my statement was incorrect on this thread.

So 8PM this evening for loadshedding then?

Firstly they didn't delay repairs, they delayed replacement, the unit is still down for refueling, repairs and maintenance as per it's usual 400 day cycle.
