Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba says he remains concerned about the delays in the process of the Medupi power station coming into operation. Briefing Parliament in his regular Eskom State of the System update on Tuesday, Gigaba said: “I remain concerned about the delays on Medupi coming online, which are forecasted in mid-2014. “My department, along with the Eskom board and management, are undertaking recovery work in relation to welding faults and control and instrumentation. “We are awaiting the report of the independent consultants which I had announced during the annual financial results of Eskom.” Gigaba said until the maintenance is sustained at appropriate levels and the new power station comes online, the power system will remain tight. He said his department will continue to interact with and monitor Eskom’s progress in implementing measures to ensure reliable electricity supply on a weekly basis and to ensure that the continuity of the progress made to date is sustained. Gigaba said there was a greater need to save more electricity, especially over the evening peak periods (between 5pm and 9pm) when the system was at the most constrained. “Just to put this into context, I indicated that within this peak time, South Africa’s electricity demand rises by more than 3 000 MW, which is larger than all SADC countries combined,” he said. – SAnews.gov.za
