A Revolutionary Transformation: Eskom’s Strides in Energy Availability

Eskom, South Africa’s national power corporation, has achieved a significant improvement in energy availability, with an Energy Availability Factor (EAF) of 70.78%, ending nearly three years of struggle with power supply. This progress is credited to the initiatives implemented by the current Eskom board, including solidifying the management team, implementing performancebased incentive bonuses, and identifying critical power stations requiring immediate attention. Eskom’s dependence on Open Cycle Gas Turbines (OCGTs) has also lessened due to the improved performance of its coal fleet, resulting in lower diesel usage and greater efficiency. The contribution of businesses and renewable energy sources also signals a hopeful outlook for the future of South Africa’s energy sector.
