JOHANNESBURG - Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd., South Africa’s state-owned power company, said it has suspended the managers of two of its biggest generating plants as the country suffers record electricity outages.
“This action was taken because of sustained poor performance by these plants, which require investigation pending disciplinary action,” Eskom said. Eskom on Thursday cut 4,000 megawatts from grid for much of the day and plans to reduce power availability by 3,000 megawatts on Friday as a result of a number of breakdowns at its plants.
