Eskom-calendar is all about getting up-to-date loadshedding schedules to South Africans.
It's completely free, and has no adverts anywhere (because who wants to scroll past a million adverts when your power has just gone off?).
Simply type in your suburb above, and we'll take care of the rest. #Loadshedding #Eskom #SouthAfrica https://eskomcalendar.co.za/

@GrahamDowns After all these years, I just have trust issues. Is this actually true, or are they just making stuff up? And... if it is true, then why only now? Why wait for over a decade to just suddenly, and with so little apparent fuss, fix it? Why wait for an election year where the polls are looking bad?
And will the story change on 30 May?
Will the sabotage suddenly start again a week before election day? Or the day after if the wrong party wins?
*sigh*
I want to believe. But it's been too long. The absolute best and most optimistic case I can wrap my head around is that they are telling the truth, and that loadshedding really does go away for possibly even months at a time. But without election pressure, it will stop being a priority and the same old forces of corruption and vested interests will come back into play and we'll have loadshedding again in 2025.

「Huge uplift for Eastern Cape on way from South Africa’s R105bn green ammonia project
The building of the R105-billion #greenammonia project by Hive Hydrogen South Africa is poised to be a huge economic uplift for the #EasternCape.
The large project is the first phase of a multi-phase venture that will be constructed over 16 years. [...]
The front-end engineering design (FEED) process gets underway next month and tenders will invited shortly after the conclusion of that process in July.
Funding will be a combination of 70% debt and 30% equity. The final investment decision, which is expected by the end of next year, will be followed by construction and commissioning in 2028.
[...]
The building by Hive Hydrogen of 3.6 GW renewable energy capacity is scheduled to begin in early 2025. The solar power component will be built near the town of #DeAar, in the #NorthernCape, and wind component north and south of #BeaufortWest, in the #WesternCape.
A large transmission grid strengthening programme will enable #HiveHydrogen’s 3.6 GW on to the grid and phases two, three and four of the project will each require additional renewable energy of a similar gigawattage. Interestingly, Hive Hydrogen’s initial 3.6 GW on to the grid will enable an additional 14.4 GW from other independent power producers.
The one-million tons of green ammonia a year that the #Coega project will produce will provide clean energy for a variety of applications, with green hydrogen and ammonia being particularly well suited to the decarbonisation of heavy industries and transportation industries.
[...]
Those in the industry will know that one of the most important things that #Eskom is doing and plans to be operational by around 2029, is to put in two 765 kV transmission lines with about 10 GW of capacity, from #Gamma in the Northern Cape to #Grassridge in the Eastern Cape.
[...]
When will 20 000 people be employed by the project [...]
There will be a large number of construction #jobs and because this is a multi-phase project, we're hoping to time the construction jobs so that we have a full 16-year period over which we can employ the people, so that it's not a construction job just for a short period.」

「ArcelorMittal SA CEO sees no way of avoiding longs closure, says wind down to start in Jan
ArcelorMittal South Africa CEO Kobus Verster[...]
The loss was attributed largely to electricity load curtailment, implemented at energy-intensive firms at high stages of #loadshedding, which had again been escalated to between Stage 4 and 6 when #ArcelorMittal #SouthAfrica made its wind-down announcement.
It also came amid increased strain between business and government, more generally. Automotive group #Volkswagen issued a warning about the company’s South African operations, citing loadshedding and #logistics problems as key concerns, while #platinum producers have indicated that job cuts are inevitable.
Meanwhile, Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo #Ntshavheni, who was widely condemned for suggesting that the private sector was engineering the collapse of the government when commenting on a rand manipulation-related settlement, appeared to double down in an opinion piece penned for the #BusinessDay.」

「 Volkswagen boss expresses concern over local operations
Although it celebrated 70 years of local production in 2021, the worsening manufacturing struggles are starting to tell at #Volkswagen.
The ongoing energy crisis and logistics challenges has reportedly been cited as some of the reasons for Volkswagen voicing renewed doubt about a sustainable future in #SouthAfrica.
Despite it being well-known that Wolfsburg’s local arm had long been certain of securing a third model at its plant in #Kariega from 2026, known only to be an “SUV-type” vehicle, new claims by its group CEO has cast apparent doubt of whether local production is indeed viable. 」

#SouthAfrican President Cyril #Ramaphosa has requested his Minister of Defence and Military Veterans Thandi Modise to deploy the South African National Defence Force #SANDF to protect several of the state #electricity supplier, #ESKOM power stations to protect against the theft of essential components.. It raises some important questions:
-Why the SANDF and not the SA Police Service #SAPS whose job this should be being deployed?
