Eskom's acting head of generation Thomas Conradie says that the company did not move beyond Stage 6 load shedding this week, but dropped large customers from the grid, which took the dropped load to more than 7 000MW.
There was concern earlier this week that Eskom had implemented Stage 7 without informing the public because just over 7 000MW of demand had been dropped. Load shedding leads to the removal of 1 000MW of demand per stage. Conradie said that in addition to load shedding, Eskom has other levers to reduce demand. These include dropping large users with whom Eskom has arrangements to shed at a certain time in exchange for discounted electricity tariffs. It can also curtail the aluminium smelters for a set number of hours a day under the same arrangement. Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.

_Business Neighbouring countries still receive power from Eskom. What is in it for us that we shoot ourselves to serve them? Money outflow I presume
_Business They believe we stupid 10 to 11 hours loadshedding a day is called what
_Business Liad shedding is loadshedding no matter in which form it comes. The fact of the matter is that consumers do not have access to electricity either in full or partially during load shedding. This dude can get a job in parlement
_Business 😄 🤣 😂 So we have load shedding, load reduction, and now load dropping. The creativity is at another level at Eskom.
_Business We were on Stage 8 (thirteen and a half hours of load-shedding) posing as 6. Now down to 11 and a half hours posing as Stage 5.!!!!
_Business Dit is dieselfde man, wat is die verskil julle kan nie jul kliente diens nie, jul moet op geen stage wees nie vertel daai politikuste om hul neus uit eskom te hou en kry van die gemors ontslae
_Business Semantics my dear
_Business Yes you did.
_Business Mmm. You can call it by a different name. It is still load shedding however. Impact on the economy probably the same.
_Business In my view, load curtailment of large customers is just one of the several forms of load shedding, which in plain English simply means the intenional shedding (or reduction or switching off) of load to protect the powee system.
_Business Candy coat it however you want… 7000MW take off the grid is 7Stages of loadshedding 🤦♂️
_Business Really - what does dropping large customers mean... O, they got load shedding... the numbers are just manipulated and shuffled to look the same and flatline... wonder why Eskom regard us as fools, nobody is fooled. Rather tell the truth - 'lies' always see the light of day.
_Business Pfutsek
_Business Mnr Conradie ons is nou huidiglik 10 ure sonder krag per dag, nou watse fase noem jy dit. Julle hou aan met leuns en julle is besig om hierdie land op te donner. Praat net die waarheid dis al wat ons vra.
_Business Yes we did. Xxxx
_Business Congratulation Eskom and Mr Conradie. What impact did it have on those you took power from. Please inform the public
_Business Yes. You did.
_Business Dropping large customers is the significant thing. In order to APPEAR to be maintaining the status quo, they are pushing the country into even deeper Kak.
_Business Every time the power goes out I hate the ANC a little more...
_Business Why don't you start by dropping the non payers?!?!?! How hard can that be And now another white guy gets thrown in to take the fall. 🙈💥
_Business BS....!!!!!!!!!!!!
_Business Fucked up
_Business It is clean lie. Andre said stage 6 until Wednesday...now we don't know when it will end.
_Business Conflicting reports about the same thing from within the same entity. And we wonder why they fail at supplying adequate electricity when they can’t even all stick to the same lie….
_Business Do please explain why some regions have 2 double load sheds and a single during the day? This excludes load sheds during the night. This is 11.5 hrs during the day plus 2.5 hrs for the night = a whopping 14 hrs out of 24 hours. This is NOT stage 6?! Definitely abnormal. NOT ON.
_Business Well SABC is reporting that Eskom confirms that we did. Seems the right hand and the left hand need a brain in the middle. Eskom has confirmed the grid was close to stage 8 blackouts this week. On Wednesday, the power utility confirmed it had dipped into the zone for stage 7.
_Business sins andre is gone you talk a pot kak just to blame him so he gone and you can not fix fukall just talk over him so you can hide the kak you doing we not fukking stupped we all see you not fix shit thats way we in this shit andre will put us in stage3 you shit put us stage 8

_Business Bullshit!
_Business So they were load shed then. 🙆♂️ symantics thats all it is.
_Business I really do not care about last week and what stage we may or may not have been on What does next week hold? Do we get to have power for more than half a day at a time?
_Business The lies!
_Business Yasis a wit oke. He must be the problem.

_Business UHU EN ONS MOET DAI KAK GLO STOP EERDER LOADSHEDDING DAN PRAAT ONS WEER JULLE BY ESKOM IS N KLOMP USSELESS SUURTOF DIEWE 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
_Business Stop lying, and undermining our in intelligence... We are not stupid!
_Business
_Business The reason for stage 6 loadshedding.
_Business
_Business Well obviously can’t believe a word they’re saying!
_Business They normalize stage 4 now they are normalizing stage 6 and next they will normalize stage8. They dont care about the citizens of south Africa they busy killing the economy and the people
_Business Bullshit! Trying to polish shit to shine!
_Business Hahahaha smoke and mirrors MYANC your feeding trough is running dry! Soon the grant money will end then the poor will rightly feed on you - the destroyers of hope. CyrilRamaphosa not sure how you sleep at night…
_Business Tomato tomato. Semantics.
_Business Well Escom we the public don't believe you at all
_Business 7000MW - 7999MW = Stage 8 6000MW - 6999MW = Stage 7 5000MW - 5999MW = Stage 6 4000MW - 4999MW = Stage 5 3000MW - 3999MW = Stage 4 2000MW - 2999MW = Stage 3 1000MW - 1999MW = Stage 2 1MW - 999MW = Stage 1
_Business They lying. Our schedule wasn’t being followed properly by Eskom. We had an extra hour of no electricity yesterday
_Business At this point we need to be told when we will have power and not when we will not have power.
_Business Yikes! Eskom Acting CEO Conradie is white!!!
_Business Eskom_SA HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK WE ARE?
_Business Funny how Eskom thinks people still believe all the kak they say.
_Business Everyone seem to be 'Acting' at Eskom 🙄🙄
_Business So why we still on load 6 when it was supposed to drop from 2 days ago?
_Business How about dropping 2 mining smelters?
_Business It is stage 7 and they are intentionally not mentioning it, so they are fccking us . And this new 1 starts with lies to cover for the ANC government and their corruption. You can't fool everybody always.
_Business What large customers were dropped from the grid? Please speak english, not corruption. We dont understand corruption.
_Business The only reason he is saying it's not stage 7 yet is because they are still busy working on the stage 7 and 8 schedules. At the moment they still look basically the same as stage 6.
_Business 8 hours of load shedding per day
_Business Dropping large customers from the grid can only lead to one thing eventually, large job losses, flight of the little capital still left in the country. Another promise delivered on by MYANC
_Business Really.... this is just symantics!!!🙄 🙄🙄
_Business Hahahaha and today is Wednesday in the year 2327! Bullshit the ANC not the rest of the country. When last did you lot allowed the truth to flow over your lips? GwedeMantashe1 PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa
_Business He is starting with a lie, wrong move.
_Business 'Large customers' are those that have the biggest production output, growing the economy and creating jobs. We will pay the price of these decisions.
_Business Do these CEOs and heads of nton nton even know that loadshedding is ?🙄 bastards!!!
_Business Before we moved to 2 hour slots and we still had 4 hour slots stage1 was once a day etc etc... so technically we are on the old times of stage 3-4 ...it was still a disaster back then as loadshedding was unheard off before anc got hold of Eskom
_Business So what the hell is 11.5 hours per day of load shedding if it isn't Stage 8 then? Tired of the constant lies and spin doctoring. Most days this week I've had no more than 3.5 hours of supply per day during working hours. 🤬
_Business How can we believe you you all are skelms
_Business
_Business Liars
_Business The above 👆is exactly Stage 7! Just Without publicly changing the loadshedding stage. I am confident this move was directed by government.
_Business Thursday till today is stage 7, this people should stop playing us, do they think we are fools,
_Business All this whitish at Eskom are failing
_Business Lies, how does he explain 9 hours and more without electricity a day. I mean 2 x 4.5 hours without electricity in 1 day.
_Business They should drop the foreign countries that we supply power to. South Africans first. When we have surplus, we can supply them. We can't kill our own economy like this.
