Minister in the Presidency responsible for Electricity, Dr Kgosientso Ramokgopa, is expected to visit the Matimba and Medupi Power Stations in Limpopo on Monday.
“Those underperforming power stations in Mpumalanga, Tutuka Power Station in particular, have to make significant improvements,” Ramokgopa said. “To put it into context, that’s one stage of load-shedding, so that was going to help us to bring it down.” “I did say, when we went to Tutuka that it is the worst performing and we can get an additional 2500 to 3000MW [from it]. So Tutuka must do everything possible to help us in this situation and the others will keep on adding.
