Gordhan, Eskom to outline current status of electricity supply
Johannesburg - Public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan and Eskom chairman Jabu Mabuza will on Wednesday outline the current status of electricity supply in the country.
Last month, Eskom said the country's power crunch was largely due to a lack of maintenance of the utility's ageing infrastructure. Eskom has several plants over 35 years old which have struggled to generate enough power supply to meet demand, a crisis likely to hurt economic growth."We understand the frustration. We don't have a magic formula," he told a news conference, noting that while Eskom had 48 000 MW of installed capacity, only 28 000 MW was available.
