The move is part of an attempt by the company to reduce the level of temporary blackouts the nation is facing as a result of its inability to meet demand.
By doing so, Eskom could return the units to operation a year earlier than if it first connected them to the FGD by building temporary structures while repairs continue to a duct that collapsed in March 2022. Rotational blackouts occurred on more than 200 days in 2022 as Eskom’s plants repeatedly broke down, and varying levels of outages have been imposed every day so far in 2023. President Cyril Ramaphosa last week to enable the government to accelerate its response to the energy crisis.
Kusile, one of Eskom’s two newest plants, is the only coal-fired one out of the 14 it operates to use the technology, which costs billions of dollars to install.An overview of the challenges and opportunities of the climate crisis, as it changes the world we know.By temporarily bypassing the pollution abatement unit, Eskom will increase emissions of SO2 eightfold, to 80 000 tonnes at Kusile alone, said Lauri Myllivirta, lead analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air.
