The power system remains vulnerable and volatile but the risk of loadshedding is expected to be significantly reduced after September 2021, when Eskom’s reliability maintenance programme will be completed.
The power entity says it’s making progress in the recovery of its operational performance, with its Generation Recovery Programme (9-Point Plan) and reliability maintenance recovery (RMR) programme beginning to show results. Despite the initial challenges posed by Covid-19 lockdown, high levels of maintenance had been sustained with planned maintenance gradually increasing to between 5 500MW and 7 000MW or approximately 12%, the entity said in a media release on Monday 15 March.

Eskom is making progress in the recovery of its operational performance, with the implementation of the Generation Recovery Programme (9-Point Plan) and reliability maintenance recovery (RMR) programme beginning to yield the desired outcome. Despite the initial challenges posed by COVID-19 lockdown, high levels of maintenance have been sustained with planned maintenance gradually increasing to between 5500 MW and 7000 MW or approximately 12%.
“While there is an improvement on some of aspects of the generation plant due to concerted efforts by Eskom employees, we are not where we want to be in terms of performance. The ultimate aim is to improve performance to reduce the risk of loadshedding. The enormity of this task cannot be overstated,” remarked Eskom Group Chief Executive, André de Ruyter.

Eskom Group Chief Executive, Andre De Ruyter, says the power utility will approach National Treasury to request that the Swedish robotics company ABB be allowed to complete work in the Kusile Power Plant in order to mitigate the risk of load shedding.
An investigation by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) along with the Hawks and FBI has found that the contract was awarded irregularly to ABB South Africa.
