Die skielike opgradering na fase 4-beurtkrag Dinsdag moes gedoen word om \u2019n algehele ineenstorting van die stelsel te voorkom, het Andr\u00e9 de Ruyter, die uitvoerende hoof van Eskom, Dinsdag (19 April) op \u2019n nuuskonferensie ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n
Suid-Afrika staar \u2019n somber energievooruitsig in die gesig, met beurtkrag wat na verwagting vir \u2019n groot deel van die week \u2013 minstens tot m\u00f4re (Vrydag) \u2013 sou voortduur.<\/p>\n
De Ruyter het ges\u00ea die kragvoorsiener het algeheel onbeplande onderbrekings van 15 672 MW, wat \u201conaanvaarbaar hoog\u201d is en tot die instelling van fase 4-beurtkrag gelei het. Hy het bygevoeg \u2019n aansienlike tekort is Dinsdagaand verwag, wat Eskom geen keuse gelaat het as om sowat 4 000 MW se vraag af te skud om absolute ineenstorting te voorkom nie. <\/p>\n
Eskom het Dinsdagoggend skielik beurtkrag tot fase 4 verhoog nadat die staatsbeheerde elektrisiteitsvoorsiener nog opwekkingseenhede verloor het.<\/p>\n
\u201cOngelukkig is Eskom pas gedwing om fase 4-beurtkrag in te stel nadat die Majuba-eenheid 5 en die Tutuka-eenheid 4 gebreek het. \u2019n Volledige verklaring sal mettertyd gepubliseer word,\u201d het die maatskappy op Twitter ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n
Dit was n\u00e1 Eskom se besluit om die krag op Paassondag na fase 2 te onderbreek, wanneer die vraag na elektrisiteit gewoonlik laag is. <\/p>\n
Di\u00e9 besluit het gekom nadat Eskom bekend gemaak het dat meer as 17 GW se opwekkingsvermo\u00eb weens onbeplande onderbrekings nie beskikbaar is nie. <\/p>\n
Saam met opwekkingseenhede wat vir beplande instandhouding (5,5GW) af was, het dit beteken meer as die helfte van Eskom se algehele opwekkingsvermo\u00eb was van Sondagmiddag van lyn af. Benewens die breek van opwekkers het Eskom ook die koue en re\u00ebnweer die skuld vir sy gebrekkige opwekkingsvermo\u00eb gegee.<\/p>\n
Philip Dukashe, Eskom se uitvoerende hoof van kragopwekking, het ges\u00ea die toename in aanvraag, tesame met die verlies aan opwekkingseenhede het Eskom se beplanning be\u00efnvloed.<\/p>\n
\u201cSommige van ons eenhede, wat deur re\u00ebn geraak is, moes met die gebruik van olie aangehelp word. Ons het probleme met die vloei van steenkool. As die re\u00ebn konsekwent is, word ons vermo\u00eb om dit te bestuur, baie moeilik,\u201d het Dukashe ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n
De Ruyter het verder ges\u00ea die maatskappy se plan vir onafhanklike kragverkryging moet bespoedig word.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgt jaar se vertragings het \u2019n aansienlike bottelnek in nuwe vermo\u00eb wat by die netwerk gevoeg word, veroorsaak,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns glo wel dat daar ongeveer 200 onafhanklike verskaffers is met krag wat hulle van tyd tot tyd beskikbaar het. Hulle word egter verhoed om dit in die netwerk in te voer. Ons wil die kantoor vir onafhanklike kragvoorsiening versoek om sy pogings te versnel om di\u00e9 kontrakte te wysig,\u201d het De Ruyter ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
