Eskom ramps up maintenance

The Mercury

|

April 14, 2025

ESKOM says it has intensified its planned maintenance work and significantly reduced unplanned outages as it seeks to stabilise the power grid ahead of winter.

However, the power utility continues to rely heavily on diesel, spending R3.6 billion in the past month to support emergency generation.

“Load shedding remains suspended, with the power system remaining stable. Emergency reserves are adequate and being used strategically to meet peak demand, while ongoing planned maintenance continues at 14.85% of generation capacity, marking a 3.8% increase compared to the same period last year," Eskom stated.
