22 February 2023 - NW132
Msimang, Prof CT to ask the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy
Whether, with the unexpected breakdowns which further reduce generation capacity in this time of crisis, his department has implemented plans to increase and improve the monitoring of generation units in order to mitigate potential future breakdowns; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The monitoring of generation units is an operation matter that falls within the purview of the Eskom. The reports on plant performance are regularly tabled at the National Crisis Committee wherein we participate.
