Maintenance
Mokwena said emergency reserves replenishment is progressing well.
“The return of these units comes after identifying the root causes of multiple unit trips, which were unconnected and purely technical in nature, related to electrical and control system issues in auxiliary parts of these power stations.
“Planned maintenance stands at 7 706MW. Eskom will provide an update on Monday afternoon,” Mokwena said.
