We only have ourselves to blame - Eskom COO | Fin24
There are currently seven generating units which have broken down due to boiler tube leaks as Eskom struggles to maintain its ageing power fleet.
The early detection system of boiler tube leaks allowed Eskom to plan for unit shutdowns. The power utility is currently scrambling to fix the problems as and when they occur and the complex process usually takes a week. The power utility is expecting a shipment of diesel to be offloaded in the next couple of days and relieve the pressure on the grid towards the end of the week.
