The system’s improvement is largely as a result of several units being returned to service
from planned and unplanned maintenance, including those that were on outage as a result
of the industrial action.
Unit 1 of the Koeberg nuclear power station, which was on planned outage for routine maintenance, has also been returned to service and is on its
way to reaching full capacity. Furthermore, Eskom has a mitigating strategy in place to
increase coal stockpiles at affected power stations.
