Due to the drop in demand for electricity as a result of the lockdown, Eskom has decided to double its maintenance schedule.
Eskom has since decided to make use of the opportunity to carry out important short-term maintenance for their generation infrastructure. “This compares to planned maintenance of 4,256 MW and unplanned outages or breakdowns of 12,175 MW on 25 March 2020, the last day before the national lockdown.” The power utility assured the public that all these units are available to return to service at short notice should the need arise.
That’s your economy flatlining.
