South Africa: Eskom on Maintenance Programme

press release

Eskom will this weekend embark on a massive "maintenance festival" in an effort to improve the performance and reliability of its power generating units ahead of the expected peak winter demand.

About 64% of Eskom's current installed base load power stations are past their midlife, requiring longer outages and extended restoration time than planned. Midlife refurbishments or replacement being carried timeously reduce equipment failures from occurring, thus improving the ability to provide reliable supply to customers.
