Eskom warned South Africans on Friday to brace for a prolonged electricity crisis as it struggles to power up the continent's most advanced economy."We are going to have a challenging period over the next three months," Eskom chief operating officer Jan Oberholzer told a media briefing.South Africa has endured electricity shortages for the past 15 years, but power cuts reached new extremes this year, which Eskom blames on sabotage, crime and ageing power stations.
But one unit at the 40-year-old nuclear plant will be offline next year for refurbishments, removing nearly a gigawatt of precious capacity from the grid. South Africa needs between four and six gigawatts of additional production capacity and"this has become a matter extreme urgency", said de Ruyter.The outgoing CEO, who handed in his resignation earlier this month but will stay on the job until March next year, cited a lack of political support and corruption as some of the obstacles to turning around the utility.
