are you admitting defeat that you can't fix Eskom?

Jehova, how did this South Africa my country get here?

Just resign you're embarrassing yourself to the core with cheap lies

Cde BOB2 years ago

So this is the solution to load shedding? You can’t even afford diesel for the turbine generators you already own 😂😂😂 so what are these going to power?

Clive Hogarth2 years ago

You seem to have given up on solving Eskom? So now @MbalulaFikile will say that the @MYANC solved load shedding because government facilities have generators. Just wait for the job losses … 😥

This is embarrassing and should tell you that the ANC cats do not know what they’re doing and are are just in it for it and also definitely left everything in Gods hands.

Imagine, one upon a time Eskom was rated number 1 in the world, then the cadres took over.

He is defeated, you can hear 150kw ‘

Sir, why does your portfolio exist? Pls explain. If u’re just gonna go buy generators & do what SAn’s HAVE BEEN doing anyway, where are your innovative solutions to this loadshedding issue? Why couldn’t the state just procure generators without incurring the cost of your salary?

Jensen Huang predicts within a decade, companies will build their own small nuclear reactors to power AI factories. HUANG: "In the next six, seven years, I think you're going to see a whole bunch of small nuclear reactors. We'll all be power generators. ... it takes the burden off the grid, you could build as much as you need, and you can contribute back to the grid."

🚨🇺🇸 Why Bombing Iran's Power Grid Will Fail — According to a 1994 US Air Force Report Attacking an enemy's power grid fails to stop their military because armed forces use almost no national electricity, get priority access to what remains, and run on backup diesel generators with weeks of fuel. That is the conclusion of a 1994 US Air Force thesis, Strategic Attack of National Electrical Systems, by Major Thomas E. Griffith, Jr., at Maxwell Air Force Base's School of Advanced Airpower Studies. It still applies to today's wars. Here's why: 1️⃣ Military bases treat the civilian grid as a secondary source. Their primary power comes from on-site generators. When the grid fails, automatic switches start generators within seconds. Fuel tanks hold 30 to 90 days of diesel. Critical systems like radar and communications have dual power sources with no single point of failure. 2️⃣ When the grid fails, military bases get priority access to remaining electricity. Armored divisions advance without interruption. Fighter jets stay fully mission-ready. Secure command links never waver. Attacking the grid produces almost no direct effect on battlefield operations. 3️⃣ The sole possible military benefit is slowing weapons factories. But that requires a long attritional campaign, not a quick strike. Why it backfires: Grid attacks hurt civilians by cutting water, hospital power, and lights. Bombing civilians rarely breaks an enemy's will; it usually stiffens resistance. The attacker appears cruel, loses international support, and unites the enemy against them.

Professor Jin Yong from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tsinghua University and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: “Battery swapping technology is extremely important for China. Every new energy vehicle is essentially a large power bank. With battery swap stations, we can significantly address the issue of building energy storage facilities. When the power grid is under strain, these vehicles can feed electricity back into the grid, helping to form an intelligent power network and playing a key role in grid stability. This will provide strong support for the overall power layout in China.” $NIO

It is now the seventh day – something that has never happened before – of an emergency situation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Because of Russian shelling, the plant has been cut off from power, disconnected from the electrical grid, and is being supplied with electricity by diesel generators. This is extraordinary. The generators and the plant were not designed for this, have never operated in this mode for long, and we already have information that one generator has failed. It is Russian shelling that prevents repair of the power lines to the plant and the restoration of basic safety. This is a threat to everyone – no terrorist in the world has ever dared to do to a nuclear plant what Russia is doing. And it is right that the world does not stay silent.

❄️Winter is Coming 2025❄️ - Energize the Frontline⚡️ Donate here (tax-deductible in 🇺🇸): ⚡️A Great Generator Deal⚡️ Against all odds, the defenders of Ukraine keep holding the line to the best of their abilities. Unit and command posts must be run, drone batteries recharged, surveillance equipment operated, and, in a sense, the war is considerably electric. This is why we decided to dedicate a fundraiser to the supply of frontline units with diesel and petrol generators. We just bought over 30 more generators, and we plan to buy over 100 (!) more. As we buy in bulk and VAT-free, we were able to negotiate a very good deal: - 3000W Inverter Generators (for sensitive electronics): 190$ / piece - 5000W Diesel Generators: 750$ / piece 🔌Current Energy Situation🔌 In October 2022, Russia began with its aerial assaults on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure - electrical and thermal power plants, electrical substations, gas distribution hubs - to deprive civilians and the military of energy during the cold winter months. Russia’s perfidious strategy, a war crime beyond any doubt, aims to break morale and weaken resilience, but also incapacitate as much of Ukraine’s economy, its industry and rail services as possible. Russia’s ultimate goal remains to force Ukraine to surrender. With allied equipment support, grid synchronisation and decentralisation efforts, fatal crises were avoided three winters in a row, without nationwide blackouts, without load-shedding, also helped by a milder than expected climate. UAO responded swiftly each winter season, supplying front line units with diesel and petrol generators, as well as power stations and power banks, purchased from your generous donations. In recent weeks, however, Russia has substantially ramped up its strikes on the energy infrastructure across the whole of Ukraine, helped by increased production of strike drones and ballistic and cruise missiles, after its summer offensive failed to gain traction. Ukraine’s largest electrical and thermal power plant operator DTEK reported three assaults so far in October alone, while Naftogaz claims that already 60% of the nation’s gas production and distribution capacity is destroyed, and Ukrzaliznytsia saw nearly 300 attacks on railway infrastructure, causing many delays and cancellations. With your help, we can secure energy supply on the frontline💪

This is the Collie Tesla Megapack battery energy storage system that just started operating in Western, Australia. It's the largest battery in that part of the country. This battery will help replace coal fired generators. "We'll be replicating this sort of project in the future." - Neoen This is just stage one. The second stage will make this $1 billion stationary battery project one of the largest in the world.

Britain has paid billions in subsidies to build thousands of turbines across its countryside. But when high pressure systems move in, wind collapses. During these calm spells, wind generation can fall to almost nothing, as low as 0.2% of the grid. When that happens, the grid scrambles. Coal is restarted, gas plants carry the bulk of the load and supply warnings are issued. This is the reality few in elected office seem to grasp. When the weather calms, which it regularly does, wind power disappears from the grid. Britain only stays online thanks to dispatchable energy systems picking up the slack. The country would be better off, both financially and in terms of energy security, if it simply ran off dispatchable power in the first place.

BREAKING: Lagos Sets Sight On Massive 2,000MW Power Plan The Lagos State Government is quietly rolling out one of the biggest power reforms in Nigeria's history, from a 2,000MW electricity expansion to dedicated power plants for Victoria Island and an independent 24-hour power grid for Eko Atlantic. Could this finally be the beginning of the end for "I pass my neighbour" generators? More importantly, what does this mean for businesses, property prices, and everyday Lagosians? This video explains in details

A major gas field in the UK could supply over 10% of the UK's energy, but that gas isn't destined for the grid. The plan instead is to extract it on site, burn it in a local power plant, and use that electricity to mine bitcoin. The energy will be consumed at the source, because that route is simpler and more profitable. Taxes, regulation and grid constraints all add friction. The gas could power homes. It isn't. Because burning it on site makes more money. That is a damning indictment of UK energy policy.
