The latest Eskom performance data is a blow to André de Ruyter and his performance as chief executive at the power utility.
Between 1 April 2024 and 30 May 2024, the energy availability factor increased to 61.0% — an 8.3% improvement from last year. The OCGT load factor for 1 May to 30 May 2024 continues to be much less at 2.18% compared to last year’s figure of 28.05% over the same period. The utility has achieved a 65% Energy Availability Factor , an essential performance metric for Eskom.When De Ruyter was questioned about Eskom’s improved performance and uninterpreted power supply, he did not credit the new board or management team.
“If the lights are on, well done. However, they are on because we are pouring money into diesel at a rate of knots.” “When we take a plant down, we work with people with deep expertise about the equipment used at that plant,” he said. “People are fixing Eskom. I heard people saying that Eskom cannot be fixed. There is no such a thing,” Nyati said.
He asked South Africans to grin and bear load-shedding for 18 months while they undertook extensive maintenance to improve the reliability of their power plants.
