BUSINESS MAVERICK: No surprise as Eskom announces record loss By Sikonathi Mantshantsha SikonathiM

Generating electricity from burning diesel drilled a hole through the finances of electricity producer Eskom. The utility burnt R6.5-billion worth of diesel during the year ended March 2019 in order to supplement its core generating capacity of coal-fired power stations and avoid rationing electricity.

The increased usage of the diesel-guzzling emergency open-cycle gas turbines became necessary as the performance of the nuclear, coal and renewable energy power stations declined due to an energy availability factor of 70%, down from 78% the previous year. Eskom generates more than 95% of South Africa’s power, most from its fleet of coal-fired power stations.“
