Six Coal-Powered Electricity Stations Achieve 70% Energy Availability Factor
As previously reported, the power utility, on Thursday, said six of its 15 coal-powered electricity stations achieved an Energy Availability Factor (EAF) of 70% over the past week.
The six power stations are Camden, Duvha, Matla, Lethabo, Matimba and Medupi.
“While this is still early progress, it shows a positive trajectory from actions taken to recover Eskom generation plants.
“This is consistent with Eskom’s target to achieve 70% EAF by the 2025 financial year,” said Acting CEO Calib Cassim.
