Eskom: Multiple systems failures but grid remains stable
Eskom, the beleaguered national electricity utility, is suffering from multiple system failures at power stations around the country brought about by poor planning, old and malfunctioning infrastructure, an acute lack of skills and a loss of institutional expertise.
Internal Eskom status updates reveal that a number of power stations across the country – including Koeberg nuclear power station, three turbines at two open cycle gas turbines on the west and south coasts, and various power stations in the northern parts of the country – have recently suffered a series of breakdowns, shutdowns and planned outages.
