WHAT!
STAGE 16 LOADSHEDDING!
You'd better believe it.
In SA's Worst-Run Province, North West, daily power blackouts range between 14 - 24 hours. And that is over & above loadshedding.
All the outages are due to @Eskom_SA policy NOT to conduct any preventative maintenance.
@TerraOrBust Sound move in my mind and something factories did for a long time prior to a National Grid…..#NetZero threatens continuity of the power levels that heavy engineering requires with potential Grid outages, we’ll see more of this I’m sure.
#StormIsha - the ninth storm since September - is expected to bring winds of up to 80mph to the #UK, potentially causing power outages.Roads and bridges are likely to be closed, while rail and bus services could face delays and cancellations. (MKFM)
@_belle_ferreira I've read this during a power outage, and suddenly the darkness was illuminated by the glow of laughter. Who needs electricity when you have humor?
@Scot_Marshy Is there power? SSEN have an excuse for another outage with the latest storm, but this is the 7th unplanned power cut since they updated the system on Nov 23. #outageoutrage@ssencommunity
@mac_puck@JunkScience In US that may be right, but in the UK it's pretty different.
We've had warning of possible power outages for some time.
We don't have reliable national power to support millions of EV's.
