in 2017, when I worked at the Tutka Power Pant as a Rotek Steam Turbines Commissioning Engineer, all six 608 MW units were at full availability with all feed water steamers in service.
I alluded him for that however my question is why can't they go for a first option, ramping up the generation so that we don't experience a loadshadding!! Because he said there are three options however they two of them!
@@petrusmathe5531 He mentioned the balance sheet of Eskom because all this is cost involved especially with some of the fleet aging and improving some other station with the fuel gas desulpher system behind ING to costly
@@jinmi7832 And as he said PV's also need battery storage which is also costly and the lifespan of batteries is not adequate. And PV's may not be efficient during peak hours
He was working at infrastructure South Africa and wrote a report on the state of infrastructure and possible solutions that was electricity infrastructure and water infrastructure you can read up on it
Those responsible for the “ condition “ of Eskom ( blatant stealing and using it as a feeding trough ) must still be brought to justice and exposed to the public / tax payers
I love the sound of the ministers report. He is coming out as some one who works hard to understand the real issues bedevilling his portfolio. Inspiring indeed. As South Africans we need to be non-partisan in doing the observation of our problems. I'm honestly inspired.🤝
Many other African countries are experiencing power shortages. It’s a challenging time but we hope that in the coming few years, power shortages will be a thing of the past once we become a continent of innovators & not just consumers.
So we are suffering because of a pledge to emission reduction which is a problem caused by Asia and the west? Run the units beyond the emission limits, we will deal with those in a year or two
@Supreme Monokeng Precisely!!! Cabinet signed deals that compromises the capacity of these stations to maximize their outputs due to a false agenda of global warming: hence the emissions reduction. Remember President Ramaphosa SIGNED a deal with President Biden NOT to use our coal,hence you see on the N3 to Durban first grade coal that we should have been using being transported to the Harbour to be exported to Europe. My question is: how is this not colonization?
It’s crazy that we only address “load shedding” instead of addressing the lack of supply enough for future growth. We need at least 10,000W stable supply extra to unlock the growth potential. Probably even more. We should be growing at least 4-5% a year instead of 0% growth. Our growth has been lagging population growth for years
But when governemnt says they need to build new power generation plants, some rent-a-crowd so-called "civic organizations" like OUTA and Accountability Now creep out from under their rocks to prevent such ventures. They want to give you that 10 000 MW from capital IPP's solar farms.
Your government build new generating capacity in Medupi and Kusile but they are giving nothing. We can't justify giving ANC a nuse to hang our economy and fiscal
The issue that the Electricity minister, minister of finance and the President are facing is convincing South Africans that the missteps and misdemeanors of the past won’t be repeated. We are yet to see any arrests or charges brought forward for the alleged misdemeanors that have put us in this state where we’ll be faced with a deficit of 10k MW in Winter, which is effectively stage 10.
@Bantu Mahali I am struggling to call corruption misdemeanor, I think the minister used the wrong word there. The effect of this corruption in our lives as citizens and south african business is clearly not minor, hence such should not be called misdemeanor.
Misdemeanor is on the same level as petty crime and shoplifting, the corruption at Eskom and effects on the SA economy is on or beyond the level of treason.😮
Remember fellow South Africans, loadshedding proudly brought to you by the cANCer squad and their cronies Don't be fooled by a few hours of no sheds this weekend compared to the last decade
We have attempted to get the parts direct from the manufacturers and failed because they want us to go through their agents that were there during apartheid time. These agents deliberately delay delivery and increase the prices in order for black entrepreneurs to fail. We have the capacity to import and deliver within 5 days but the agents will ensure that we get parts after 12 weeks.
So what did you add to what ADR did not reported on in the past.... 😂.. Just read his report and stop covering ANC deficiencies and Corruption.... The rest will follow. Money for proper maintenance and the staff's moral at the power stations will florish...
Demand is demand we pay for it fool. Get your generation side up and running. You should not decide when we have power we should have power all the time.
They are unable to detect the root cause because the unit is old, however on the new ones, they are able to detect the cause, fix it and return it to generation. Yet less than 5 minutes ago, you said there is no relationship between. Generation and the age of the station! Which one is it? Or perhaps you do not see the contradiction? The Inability to identify root cause affects generation and that is because of age. Am I missing something here?
Lol, he says what we already know, we want solutions to end loadshetting not problems, it seems we will have this loadshetting for two to three years because the minister does not have understating of how Eskom generation works, South Africa is a movie

Mr Kgosientso Ramokgopa, I have faith in you...
I like the fact that even someone who doesn't understand anything about electricity. He makes us understand.

@@petrusmathe5531 it's actually 3
1 is increase generation
2 decrease demand
3 do both of the above reduce demand and ramp up generation

@@jinmi7832 Not sure why they have those option of battery storage and pump storage perhaps it became a question of efficiency
He must replace Pravin with immediate effect.
Very impressed with his level of knowledge is a short space of time.
Yes, even me can tell that he’s a knowledgeable man
He was working at infrastructure South Africa and wrote a report on the state of infrastructure and possible solutions that was electricity infrastructure and water infrastructure you can read up on it
He is am engineer man, what he is saying is basics for all engineering fields.
What he now's of electricity is mind blowing

The hardest choices are who in the ANC gets what contracts....
All the issues that minister raised have been there for more than 10 years, bahlala ngathi laaa
Almost 1.5 hours of telling us what we already know through MSM
😂😂😂😂😂 jealousy makes some people very nasty, the fox and the grapes.

you are a different minister you seem to know your story than your fellow grandpas and grannys
Its amazing what they can actually do when they want to.... Taking their hand out of the cookiejars means they've got 2 hands to work with!?!
After the election the situation will be worse. This is just lousy word salad 😂😂😂😂

It is amazing how ANC ministers can talk and say nothing.
If I have solar you will get 00000000 from that. I paid for it not you. The sun is mahalla bru you dont own it.
He's clueless... look at he's face he has absolutely no idea what has to be done. If we have electricity for another 6 months I'll be very surprised.
This one is useless but just an alarmist.
