De Ruyter says Esko will continue to work with law enforcement agencies to bring the corrupt to book.The power utility’s new CEO Andre de Ruyter says the power grid remains constrained, unpredictable and volatile.
He addressed the media at Eskom’s headquarters in Megawatt Park, Johannesburg, on the power provider’s new maintenance plan. “We have developed a comprehensive plan, which we took to our board and the board supported it and this will enable us to perform the necessary rigorous maintenance on our power plants and this maintains that we will revert to our original philosophy maintenance and essentially what it entails is that instead of differing maintenance and instead of postponing, we intend to return to the cycle of maintaining a plant as per the original manufacturers guidelines,” he said.
“We are aware of the fact that any crisis of corruption still remaining within Eskom will hinder our efforts to turn around the organisation and also impact negatively on our finances and we are, therefore, accelerating our efforts to lifestyle audits and forensic investigations and we will roll that out to certain areas where we believe we are at risk.
