Planned maintenance is when they plan to do maintenance on a certain plant so example pulling a unit off the grid for planned repairs, their main focus was heavy maintenance in summer and less in winterCan someone more knowledgeable please explain planned maintenance?

Sort ofSo planned maintenance is units that's already down and makes no difference to loadshedding if I understand correctly? Or well at least some of it?
Planned maintenance = you car needs to be serviced annually or every 15000km. So you schedule the service in advance of reaching these milestones. It is planned, you know the car will be out of service and you need to make alternative arrangements if you want to travel on that day.Can someone more knowledgeable please explain planned maintenance? I see it's becoming less and less.
