JOHANNESBURG - Eskom says there have been notable gradual improvements to its power generation fleet.
Six coal-fired power stations achieved an energy availability factor of 70% over the past week - a milestone last achieved at the start of May 2022. The power utility said that three of these power stations Camden, Duvha and Matla have been on a sustained upward trend because of a reduction of plant breakdown and the return to service of several units.
Lethabo, Matimba and Medupi have been experiencing continued good performance and remain among Eskom’s three best-performing stations, Eskom added. Eskom's Daphne Mokwena: "In addition, Lethabo [power station] was able to sustain performance after a quick recovery following a wet coal incident experienced last week due to flooding after excessive rainfall. While this is still early progress it shows a positive trajectory from actions taken to recover Eskom generation plants."
They just don't want us to boycott on Monday. There is no improvement.
