    But Sally, all of the old coal fired power stations would have still functioned 100% today, HAD THEY BEEN MAINTAINED regularly ! The sooner we all realize that the Government left this crisis for far too long AND were sitting on their hands doing nothing about it instead of doing something about it, the better. YET, NOBODY wants to take accountability in the downfall of Eskom's inability to supply constant electricity in the Country ! Nobody wants to work together to find solutions to the problems, because it is a case of everybody for himself/herself.

      Zooma had a window to better at least some of the coal plants + getting ahead with servicing debt, but no, it had to be nuclear or nothing. Why?
      Debt just escalates in tandem with an extremely unstable grid, exhorbant diesel costs with the forever begging bowl under one arm eskom, pushing renewable energy with a vengeance, gets SA on the grey list.
      With winter around the corner + an expensive electricity minister doing a spokespersons job - there still seems to be no other operational plan with viable solutions for the existing plants. And whose to gain from it?

    Referring to load-shedding as "blackouts" is not helpful eNCA! I'm not suggesting that load-shedding is OK, I'm saying that referring to it as blackouts is just eNCA trying to stir trouble and get more attention for themselves. Load-shedding and blackouts are not the same thing. Load-shedding is done according to a well published schedule whereas "blackouts" implies that the outages are sporadic and unforeseen. Again, I'm not suggesting that load-shedding is not a problem for us all.
    As authoritative as eNCA might think they are, they regularly show very wrong information when presenting daily stock market, currency and commodity values. About 3 years ago, they showed the exact same weather report every day for almost a week.

      If the existing coal fired power stations had maintenance quality and energy availability factor of even mediocre western coal fired power stations, then there would be no load shedding at all. It's simply a fact. Renewables in places like the west all require massive coal capacity for backup. Renewables have a tiny energy availability factor of less than half of the CURRENT coal fleet.
