Eskom’s unplanned capability loss factor (UCLF) has significantly improved, indicating that the system is becoming healthier.
“If you look at what the UCLF recorded over the past seven days, you see that we’ve been averaging at about 10 500 megawatts, essentially 10 500 megawatts of capacity that is installed was not available on account of various reasons. the units failing and units not performing at their optimal capacity. If you had to compare this with the same period last year, it’s an improvement of about 5 000 megawatts.
“It’s important that we’re able to consistently improve this kind of result. And of course, in numbers, it means that there’s less and less reliance on diesel to power our electricity requirement.” The Minister believes that this speaks to the improvement of Eskom’s systems, which he stated will be passed on to the end consumer.Ramokgopa said it was an “anomaly” to celebrate the fact that there were 208 days of no load shedding.
Ramokgopa said the seventh administration plans to be aggressive in procurement, with interventions to improve the programme’s structure and efficiency. Ramokgopa announced that the project has seen significant market confidence, with international and domestic investments totalling R272 billion.
