Jacaranda FM Wins the Hearts and Ears of Pretoria for a…Improved performance of Eskom’s generating fleet is beginning to turn the tide against load shedding.
“Generation performance continues to improve from the May 2023 days of 27410MW to 28 883MW in October month to date. Last week, we saw generation breach the psychological mark of 30 000MW largely buoyed by the return to service of Kusile units 3 and 1 over the past month. “The two units returned have injected an additional 1600 MW over the past month, whilst Units 2 and 5 will add another 1600 MW. This means the 4 Kusile Units will provide a total of 3200 MW of base load by December 2023. The last remaining Kusile unit, Unit 6, is planned to be synchronised in August 2024.
However, Ramokgopa expressed confidence that the task of lowering and eventually ending load shedding is well underway.
