Eskom reports generation recovery and reduced outages

Eskom has reported continued progress under its Generation Recovery Plan, saying it is shifting from recovery to sustaining reliability.

• The utility said it has gone more than 540 days without load shedding, with Energy Availability Factor (EAF) at 68.16% and about 6,481MW of generation capacity recovered compared with three years ago.
• It also reported diesel expenditure of R1.26 billion year-to-date, down R4.81 billion (79.19%) from the same period last year, and said about 1.6 million customers have returned to normal supply as it targets eliminating load reduction by March 2027.
