Verrry amuse!

Infeed station repaired.

Mad respect to the people who worked through the cold and the dark to get power on again.

So #Today is looking better!
But ofcourse #Eskom is now mumbling about possible Stage 8...and we are already on Stage 6 again.

Thor giveth, Thor taketh

The requirement that PV panels be connected to mains to get a subsidy is counter-productive, given that much DIY energy investment involves low-voltage DC to keep IT running. Removing inverters from the picture mitigates #Eskom's gripe of a surge after every loadshedding session. https://techcentral.co.za/how-to-claim-from-south-africas-solar-tax-subsidy/227905/

I went through a couple of quote iterations with installer to get what I wanted.
Luckily, by that time, I had done enough reading to know what to ask.

Garsfontein and Fearie Glen seems to have power currently, so info might be a bit out of date.

Demand-side management was a big thing in #Eskom 20 years ago but the new guy gets breathless about it. They used to subsidise solar water heaters; they even had a pioneering #IoT scheme to remotely switch off geysers. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/energy/485505-south-africa-can-cut-up-to-4-stages-of-load-shedding-by-switching-off-geysers-electricity-minister.html

„Treasonous. It is a word that has been bandied about in response to the first part of #DailyMaverick’s investigation into the underworld of political subterfuge, sabotage and organised crime on the soot-laden streets of #Mpumalanga.

[…]

Although we cannot yet reveal the names of the #Cabinet members for legal reasons, […] we can begin here to paint a picture of how #Eskom is being #sabotage|d.“

„The one glaring and hardly noticed implication of the Budget Speech is that it brings to an end #Eskom as we’ve known it. Eskom’s future will no longer be about generating electricity, it will be about transmission — buying electricity from public and private entities that generate electricity, and selling it to a range of buyers including municipalities who on-sell to others, as well as thousands of businesses and households.“

Okay #Eskom wants temporary permission not only to bypass desulfurisation but to discharge flue gas near ground level, else 2 extra stages of loadshedding continue https://mybroadband.co.za/news/energy/481629-eskom-managers-overruling-engineers-caused-catastrophic-kusile-chimney-collapse.html
