It's like 2020 had all these COVID experts, now we have all these energy experts.

There are limits, 24 hours in a day and x amount of MW
If there is no load to shed then it is zero power which is also a limit

The article is deeply racist.

Another rent-a-quote. Does he know Eskom reduces its scheduled maintenance in winter drastically+ Kusile (3 units) + Koeberg Unit 1 should all be supplying power to the grid by July.

In this age of self identifying as anything. MyBB self identifies as experts of everything.

Initially it was all over the place yes.
Stage 3 was actually 4GW shed
View attachment 1459105

In the early days stage 1 was only up to 300MW but that changed.

HAHA What muppet decided Stage 3 would be 4GW?!?!

That is just insane.

I get 1 stage = 2GW... but 3 = 4GW?

No man.

I don't remember much of this lunacy, but I think this was back when each city was doing its own thing with time slots. What chaos.

In the end certain people are going to benefit a lot from this power crisis.

Just create a big enough crisis and then some saviours will step in to "save" us all and provide the much needed electricity and make billions.

The screen shot is right there from Dec 2014, Eskom did split stage 3 into 3a and 3b, shortly after that it 3b became 4.

3a and 3b. It's all coming back to me now.

Thanks for that. Now that stupid song will play in my head till something else replaces it

Don`t need stage 10 for taps to run dry, stage 6 will do:

Power cuts affecting CT water supply, residents urged to use water sparingly

Speaking to Cape Talk, acting mayoral committee member for water and sanitation Siseko Mbandezi said residents in Somerset West were left without water over the weekend due to prolonged higher stages of load shedding.

Stage 10 on loadshedding schedules will be up to 16 to 17 hours a day without power, while Stage 12 it will be 16 to 17 hours a day without power.*

*excluding system failures

You need to keep hard copies for refugee purposes.
