Ramokgopa points out that the best illustration of the trendline improvement can be seen in the unplanned capacity loss factor . Ramokgopa asserted that we should not be thrown off by these ups and downs in the stages of load shedding . "It is important that in the midst of momentary setbacks, reaching stage 4 or occasionally stage 6, we don't lose sight of the trendline." We need to look at the overall performance of the grid over a period of time.
Instead of the usual stage 3 during the day (5 AM until 4 PM) and stage 4 taking over until 5 AM the following day, last week, they implemented stage 2 from 5 AM until 8 PM. Instead of ramping up by one stage, it would go up by two to stage 4 load shedding from 8 PM until 5 AM. "We are transfixed on the resolution of the trendline. We should not be fixated on the Energy Availability Factor (EAF); we should just do the right things. That's why there's been a ramping up of planned maintenance," stated Ramokgopa.
