JOHANNESBURG – Power utility Eskom last night warned the country to brace for more load shedding in the days ahead as it grapples with repairs to boiler tube leaks at its coal-fired power stations, while it scrambles to secure enough diesel to keep the lights on.
Mabuza said that for the year to March 2019, Eskom had burnt R6 billion worth of diesel as it struggled with high stages of load shedding. “The amount of diesel we need to sustain supply in the interim is not a quantum that can be delivered in a short space of time. The reality is that a long-term sustainable solution is only through expedited maintenance, and/or additional capacity, which both require funds to be expended,” Mabuza said.
“While we have an overall capacity of approximately 47000MW, when we take into account both planned and unplanned outages, Eskom effectively has about 32000MW available capacity, of which demand of 30000MW including operating reserves.
