This pattern will be repeated daily until further notice. Breakdowns are currently at 13,559MW, while planned maintenance is at 4,765MW of generation capacity. Demand forecast for the evening peak is 25,054MW. Eskom said it will communicate should any significant changes occur. Much of the energy availability gains come from the return to service of Kusile unit 1, which suffered a catastrophic failure one year ago. |
