Eskom struggling to reduce breakdowns

Eskom reports that, as of Friday, the weekly average breakdowns at its power stations was 13,628 MW. For nine weeks in a row, average breakdowns have exceeded the power utility’s 13,000 MW “safe” threshold.

While breakdowns were lower this week, the state-owned power utility reported a significant increase in open-cycle gas turbine (OCGT) usage.

Nothing unusual here, just normal incompetence that has been beyond any sort of threshold since 2009. Viva cANCer viva, you never fail to fail
