of load shedding? Eskom has said it has seen a marked improvement in the performance at some of its power stations.said six of its coal-fired power stations have achieved a 70% energy availability factor for the first time since early May last year. The state-owned utility described these improvements as a “milestone”.
“Three of these power stations, Camden, Duvha and Matla, have been on a sustained upward trend as a result of a reduction of plant breakdowns and the return to service of a number of units that were on unplanned breakdowns,” the company said.“Lethabo, Matimba and Medupi have been experiencing continued good performance and remain among Eskom’s three best-performing stations.
In the statement, Eskom acting CEO Calib Cassim cautioned that the improvements represent “early progress” but show a “positive trajectory from actions taken to recover Eskom generation plants”.
