Monday marked exactly 40 days that South Africans are experiencing uninterrupted power supply.
PICTURE: PixabayEskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena attributed the
continuation of suspended loadshedding to ongoing sustained improvements in
generation performance.
"Over the past few weeks, there has been a consistent
and significant improvement in curbing unplanned outages - technically known as
the Unplanned Capacity Loss Factor (UCLF) due to the success of the Generation
Operational Recovery plan which commenced in March 2023.
"The unplanned outages are on a downward trajectory
and are better compared to the same period last year. From 26 April 2024 to
date, unplanned outages have reduced by close to 4 400MW from 15 523MW to 11
036MW. There has been no increased usage
in the Open Cycle Gas Turbines (OCGTs) for the period of the first week of May
in relation to the last reported figures during the System Update on 26 April
2024."
