Eskom has made major strides to improve its operational stability , including launching a reliability maintenance project to ensure stable power generation, CEO Andre de Ruyter said on Thursday.
Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter says fixing design errors at unit 3 Medupi has been successful. 'For the first time, unit 3 was able to run to design capacity,' he said.
He said the generation system was not as reliable and predictable as it should be. For that reason, the reliability maintenance project was launched earlier this year.
