De Ruyter on army deployment at Eskom power stations: A pity we had to wait so long | Business

Following unprecedented levels of load shedding in 2022, Eskom foresees a"very challenging" period ahead for the power system in the first few months of the new year as major generation units are expected to be offline.

With three power generation units offline at Kusile power station, one at Medupi and one at Koeberg, over 3 500MW will be unavailable for power generation when power demand picks up in mid-January and poses a"significant risk" to power generation capacity, said Eskom COO Jan Oberholzer. "It is going to be difficult. Obviously, we will have to run existing units at higher utilisation, or at the same levels that we do now, and with that comes other challenges," said Oberholzer."It's going to be a difficult period. Really, we see a challenging period ahead of us."Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism. Thereafter you will be billed R75 per month.
