S.Africa: Signs of future Collapse: Eskom increases load-shedding without notice
(005320.38-:E-003569.93:N-HO:R-SU:C-30:V)
[I've noticed for a long time that things happen – unexpectedly with electricity. It is fine then suddenly there's a problem. This shows how chaotic they really are, and this is a sign of future collapse. If you see this pattern getting worse, then you know a huge collapse is coming. Jan]Eskom has increased rotational power cuts to stage 3. The higher stage of load-shedding started at 18:11, the power utility said in a brief statement on Wednesday night.
It said this was due to higher-than-anticipated demand.
The rest of Eskom’s planned load-shedding timetable remains the same as announced earlier today.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the utility said its breakdowns stood at 15,089MW, while planned maintenance had increased to 7,147MW.
In the past 24 hours, the utility had only managed to return one generating unit to service at Duvha Power Station.
At the same time, it took a generating unit each at Lethabo, Kendal and Kriel power stations offline for repairs.
There were also delays in returning units to service at Hendrina and Medupi and two units at Tutuka power station.
Crucially, five open-cycle gas turbines (OCGTs) at Ankerlig power station were taken offline this morning for a planned upgrade of the plant’s control system.
Eskom typically uses OCGTs to supplement generation during the peak demand periods in the evening.
With each of Ankerlig’s OCGTs capable of contributing a maximum of about 147MW of capacity, the temporary shutdown takes roughly 735MW off the grid.

Video: How the Church betrayed the Boers and is directly responsible for the White Genocide
This is an absolutely brilliant video that was made in 2017. The Boers were TOTAL believers in the Bible and in Christianity. It had kept them going through the hardships of life in Africa.
Video & Audio: What Jews know about Whites & it scares them: Jews fear an American Holocaust & Jews
In this video we spend a lot of time watching Jews and listening to Jews and observing them. Youll get a chance to see and grasp what it is about us that bothers them. I also look at the way Jews talk about Europe or America and how they perceive the end of Europe or America. What exactly are they saying?
