A man drives cattle past electricity pylons during frequent power outages from South African utility Eskom, caused by its aging coal-fired plants, in Soweto, South Africa April 4, 2022.Energy expert from the South African National Energy Development Institute - Professor Sampson Mamphweli, says there’s a glimmer of hope as a result of the power utility’s maintenance plan.
Nine units broke down at Eskom power stations over the weekend due to boiler tube leaks that saw losses in generation capacity. Ramokgopa says a team of technicians is working around the clock to minimise the current electricity supply constraints with two of the nine units that broke down now back up.“Those nine units that went out as a result of boiler tube leaks, two of them have been returned, a number of them are returning tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday and we should see what we have established as a trend of not going above stage 4.
