A task team has also been established to deal with threats to infrastructure - with Tutuka reporting several cases of fraud, theft of spares and sabotage.
MPUMALANGA - President Cyril Ramaphosa said work is underway to return the Tutuka power station to top form.
Tutuka - which is the worst performing power station at Eskom, contributes a great deal to the country’s electricity woes.The president admitted that the power station is in a dire state, and he seemed upbeat about measures in place to fix the embattled plant. This includes maintenance work that will see fewer unplanned breakdowns at the plant.
“They are doing as much as they possibly can, dealing with big machines, big equipment that they have to properly streamline to generate the energy that we need.” Ramaphosa believes these efforts will help improve the plant’s efficiency that in turn will ease the pressure on the national grid. #EskomCrisis | Ramaphosa has wrapped up talks with the Eskom execs.
