Earlier today, the electricity minister, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa stated that Eskom’s Energy Availability Factor has breached the 70% mark, while just over R53.4 million was spent on burning diesel to power the Open Cycle Gas Turbines last week. Eskom has consistently defended its use of Open Cycle Gas Turbines’, saying it was only being used during morning and evening peaks to meet high electricity demand when it is necessary. The power utility says South Africa is currently in a load shedding free environment, not because they are burning diesel to keep the lights on, but because of their extensive maintenance programme and success of their Generation Operational Recovery Plan, which was initiated in March last year.
