SA op Pad na Winter van Fase 4 en 5 Kragonderbrekings Weens Onversorgde Infrastruktuur wat Land se Ineenstorting Versnel!

Posted on Leave a comment

Suid-Afrika is op pad na ‘n winter van ontevredenheid, nie net as gevolg van die swak bestuurde Covid-reaksie nie, maar dit staar nou ook fase 4 en 5 beurtkrag in die gesig, omdat infrastruktuur verbrokkel het vanweë gebrek aan onderhoud. Die energiekenner Chris Yelland, direkteur van EE Business Intelligence, het gesê beurtkrag sal hierdie winter net vererger.

Die situasie is veral haglik in Johannesburg waar inwoners bykomende kragonderbrekings opdoen as gevolg van die stad se verbrokkelende infrastruktuur, bo en behalwe die onderbrekings wat Eskom opgelê het.

SA Facing Winter of Phase 4 & 5 Rolling Blackouts as Unmaintained Infrastructure Accelerates the Country’s Collapse!

Posted on Leave a comment

South Africa is headed for a winter of discontent, not only due to the badly managed Covid response, but it has surpassed yet another point of no return with phase 4 and 5 load shedding coming, due to infrastructure crumbling from lack of maintenance. Energy expert Chris Yelland, director of EE Business Intelligence, has said load shedding will only worsen this winter.

The situation is especially dire in Johannesburg where residents are suffering additional power outages, as a direct result of the City’s crumbling infrastructure, besides those imposed by Eskom.

Some families in Johannesburg have to survive for a week or more without any electricity because City Power’s electricians can’t cope with all the outages caused by decaying and crumbling infrastructure and illegal connections caused by years of ANC mismanagement.

Many residents of Johannesburg were also without water this week because the lack of electricity also means water pumps can’t fill up water r

Hello darkness my old Friend! Brace for more Stage 6 load-shedding as Eskom breakdowns rise

Posted on Leave a comment

Stage 6 load-shedding, which has happened only once before, looks set to become a far more common occurrence as Eskom’s plant breakdowns remain at dangerously high levels.

Stage 6 means 6,000MW are dropped from the grid to avoid the system becoming unstable. In Gauteng, where load-shedding intervals last four hours, Eskom customers could be without electricity for an average of 10 hours a day.

Over the weekend, Eskom went to Stage 2 load-shedding, dropping 2,000MW from the grid. But had demand been at normal levels with everyone back at work, it would have been necessary to move to Stage 6 on Saturday and Sunday.

Demand over the holiday period is about 4,000MW lower than normal. Chris Yelland, who is MD at EE Business Intelligence, which tracks demand and Eskom plant performance, says that in the last week of January 2018 electricity demand was at 28,864MW. In the last week of December demand had dropped as low as 25,294MW.

Eskom says plant breakdowns mus
