Die fase 4-beurtkrag wat Dinsdag (19\/04) ingestel is, kan moontlik nog tot Vrydag duur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit skep nie net ongerief nie, maar ook verliese aan inkomste vir plaaslike ondernemings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sommige kruidenierswinkels in Bloemfontein moes vars produkte teen korting verkoop omdat kragopwekkers nie genoeg krag lewer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die regering versuim al agt jaar om gehoor te gee aan Eskom se pleidooi dat nuwe opwekkings\u00advermo\u00eb gebou moet word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andr\u00e9 de Ruyter, uitvoerende hoof van Eskom, s\u00ea die instelling van fase 4-beurtkrag is \u2019n wekroep dat die gesloer nie kan voortduur nie. Ondanks talle bodgeleenthede vir onafhanklike kragprodusente versuim die regering om die konstruksie van nuwe opwekkingsvermo\u00eb te prioritiseer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDis eenvoudig: Om beurtkrag op te los, benodig ons 4 000 megawatt (MW) tot 6 000 MW nuwe opwekkingsvermo\u00eb \u2013 en ons benodig dit vinnig.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De Ruyter s\u00ea sedert 2014 is geen nuwe kragprojekte voltooi nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die onbetroubare reeks ou steenkoolkragstasies is al lank nie meer genoeg om in die land se kragbehoefte te voorsien nie. Die regering luister egter nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selfs met bestaande onafhanklike kragprodusente van die eerste vier bodrondes kan honderde MW tot die kragnetwerk bygevoeg word, reken De Ruyter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea tot 700 MW kan blitsvinnig bygevoeg word indien die regering net \u2019n \u201cpaar wysigings\u201d aan regulasies bewerkstellig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is byvoorbeeld 200 MW bykomende opwekkingsvermo\u00eb wat die onafhanklike kragprodusente nou beskikbaar het, maar nie aan Eskom mag verkoop nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boonop kan nog honderde MW bekom word vanaf di\u00e9 bestaande kragprodusente as rompslomp en bottelnekke in die toekenning van kontrakte vir uitbreidings aan bestaande aanlegte net gewysig word. Eskom probeer ook om binne sy vermo\u00eb verdere kontrakte met onafhanklike kragprodusente aan te gaan, maar weer sloer die departement van minerale bronne en energie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die een projek wat Eskom op sy eie kan bewerkstellig sonder die goedkeuring van die departement is sy Mpumalanga-grondprojek. Hierdeur beoog Eskom om onafhanklike kragprodusente aan te spoor om die verslapping van die regulasies vir selfopwekking sonder \u2019n lisensie tot 100 MW te benut deur sy eie grond om bestaande kragstasies beskikbaar te stel vir 20-jaar-huurkontrakte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De Ruyter s\u00ea op die eerste beleggersoproep onlangs was daar 64 partye wat belang gestel het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDis \u2019n uitstekende getal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eskom sukkel om sy kragstasies aan die gang te hou en kan nie die ho\u00ebr vraag na krag hanteer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In gevalle waar die kragstasies puik presteer, kan die steenkoolkragstasies nog net-net genoeg krag opwek, maar daar is nie spaarkapasiteit waarop Eskom kan terugval nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phillip Dukashe, hoof van opwekking van Eskom, s\u00ea die kragnetwerk verkeer weens verskeie faktore onder erge druk. Daar is probleme met nat steenkool weens die swaar re\u00ebnval in die noorde van die land. Dit beteken Eskom moet meer olie gebruik om die verbranding van die steenkool in die ketels van die kragstasies aan die gang te kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weens die gedeeltelike sluiting van die Durbanse hawe as gevolg van die onlangse oorstromings, is Eskom se toegang tot die spesiale olie wat verbranding in sy krag\u00adstasies bewerkstellig, in die wiele gery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
