As the country stares down possible Stage 2 and 3 load shedding for the next two years, a plan to turn around Eskom's plant performance is not offering many new solutions, but a sizeable influx of private power may help to ease the pain. Speaking at a media briefing on Sunday, Eskom board chair, Mpho Makwana, said a plant performance recovery plan is in the final stages of being approved.

The plan aims to improve the Eskom coal fleet's Energy Availability Factor to a"desirable level" in two years. While the global norm is an EAF of 86%, Eskom plans to move from an EAF of 58% currently to 70% in two years. The EAF for the coal fleet is worse at 52%.Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism. Thereafter you will be billed R75 per month.
