The cash-strapped utility said cutting up to 2 000 megawatts of power from the national grid overnight would help it to replenish emergency reserves to meet electricity demand during daylight hours on Wednesday.
Eskom said in a statement that 13 600 MW of its 44 000 MW total nominal capacity was offline on Tuesday because of plant breakdowns.Eskom generates more than 90% of the electricity in Africa’s most industrialised economy, but its unreliable performance is a major impediment to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s efforts to revive economic growth.
Eskom’s new chief executive Andre de Ruyter started work on Monday and will oversee a government plan to split the company into separate units for generation, transmission, and distribution to improve its performance.
These announcements are made as if we should be grateful, is it not their jobs to do this?
It's their job. They should've done this long ago.
