INingizimu Afrika imaka izinsuku eziyi-105 ngaphandle kwe-Load Shedding
U-Eskom usuzuze izinsuku eziyi-105 zilandelana ngaphandle kokucisha ugesi (Loadshedding) , wancoma ukusebenza okuthuthukile kwemishini kanye nokuncipha kokucisha okungahleliwe ukuze kugcinwe igridi yaseNingizimu Afrika izinzile.
U-Eskom umemezele ukuthi iNingizimu Afrika manje isifinyelele izinsuku eziyi-105 zilandelana ngaphandle kokucisha ugesi, okuwuphawu lwentuthuko eqhubekayo ekusebenzeni kwayo ukuphehla ugesi.
Esitatimendeni sangoLwesihlanu, inkampani kagesi ithe ingqophamlando ikhombisa inqubekelaphambili yezobuchwepheshe engaguquki, nokucisha okungahleliwe okusele emazingeni aphansi.
“Le ngqopha-mlando yakhela phezu komfutho onyakeni wezimali ka-2025, oqophe izinsuku ezingu-352 zokucishwa kukagesi, futhi kukhombisa ubungcono obubonakalayo kusukela ezinsukwini ezingu-36 ezizuzwe onyakeni wezimali kanye -2024.
U-Eskom useqale ukubheka ama-2GW avuselelekayo ngo-2026 ngohlelo olusha lokucisha
“Njengoba kuphela isizini yasebusika, igridi kazwelonke isalokhu izinzile futhi ithembekile, okuqinisa ukuzibophezela kwe-Eskom ekuqedeni ukucisha kukagesi,” kusho u-Eskom.
INingizimu Afrika ayikaze ibhekane nokucishwa kukagesi kusukela ngoMeyi 15, njengoba kuqoshwe amahora angu-26 kuphela phakathi kuka-Ephreli 1 no-Agasti 28.
Le nkampani ithe isikwazile ukuhlangabezana nesidingo sikagesi esingaphezu kuka-97% kulobu busika nakulo nyaka wezimali kuze kube yimanje.
Ukuphuka okungahleliwe kwehle kwafinyelela ku-8 948MW, ngaphansi kakhulu komkhawulo ka-10 000MW. U-Eskom uthe ukuthuthukiswa kwezinhlelo zabo zokukhiqiza kabusha. Ukulungiswa okuhleliwe kuphinde kwanyuka phakathi kuka-Agasti 15 no-28, okwenza isilinganiso esingu-6 968MW.
Ngalesi sikhathi, i-Energy Availability Factor iguquguquke phakathi kuka-64% no-75%, ngesilinganiso sama-66.15% enyangeni.
IKusile Unit 6, enikele ngama-720MW kugridi kusukela ngoNdasa, kulindeleke ukuthi isebenze ngokuhweba ngoSepthemba.
U-Eskom uthe uhlela ukubuyisela ugesi ongu-4 830MW ozosebenza ngesonto eliqala ngoSepthemba 1, ukuze kuqinise ukuqina kwegridi.
