U-Eskom uzophinde aqale kabusha ukunqanyulwa kukagesi ngoLwesibili ngemuva kwesikhashana nje ngamaholidi kaKhisimusi.
Ukucishwa kukagesi ku-Stage 2 kuzoqalwa phakathi kuka-5am no-4pm ngoLwesibili, kulandelwe yi-Stage 3 kuze kube ihora lesihlanu ekuseni ngoLwesithathu.
“Le ndlela yokunqamuka kuka-Stage 2 ekuseni kanye ne-Stage 3 yokunqamuka kukagesi ebusuku izophindaphindwa nsuku zonke kuze kube esinye isaziso,” kusho le nkampani esitatimendeni ngoMsombuluko.
U-Eskom ubhekene nengwadla yokuhlangabezana nesidingo sikagesi ngenxa yokonakala kwezikhungo zabo, okuholele ekutheni kuqaliswe ukucishwa kukagesi ukuze kunqandwe ukucisha ngokuphelele.
Khonamanjalo, u-Eskom uthe uphokophele phambili ukugcina amalambu ekhanya ezweni njengoba umemezele ukuthi iKusile Unit 5 iqala ngqa ukuhambisana nogesi.
U-Eskom “ujabule ukumemezela ukuthi i-Unit 5 ye-Kusile Power Station Project ihlanganiswe negridi kazwelonke okokuqala ngqa ngomhla zingama-31 kuZibandlela wezi-2023, ngo-17:22,” kusho isitatimende ngeSonto.
Lolu phiko luzofaka enye imali engu-800 MW ohlelweni lukagesi lwezwe, olungakaze lube yingxenye yomthamo wegridi yakwa-Eskom. Izophakela ugesi ngezikhathi ezithile phakathi nesigaba sokuhlola nokwenza ngcono ezinyangeni eziyisithupha ezizayo ngaphambi kokuba udluliselwe emsebenzini wokuhweba kanye namandla engeziwe ngokusemthethweni ezikhunjini zamanje zakwa-Eskom.
I-Kusile Units 1, 2, kanye ne-3 yayingaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi isikhathi esingangonyaka ngemva kokubhidlika kwepayipi legesi ekhishwa ngogesi ngo-Okthoba 2022. Ukungabikho kwawo kugridi ka-Eskom kudlale indima enkulu ekwenyuseni izinga lokucinywa kukagesi eNingizimu Afrika.
Ngasekuqaleni kwale nyanga, inkampani kagesi edonsa kanzima ibike ukuthi esikhathini esiyizinyanga eziyisithupha esiphele ngoSepthemba 30, ukutholakala kwemishini kuqhubekile nokuwohloka, njengoba i-energy availability factor (EAF) yehle yafinyelela ku-55.3% nokuholele ekucimeni kukagesi izikhathi eziningi ezigabeni eziphakeme ngokwesilinganiso. kunangonyaka odlule.
Sekukonke, ukucishwa kukagesi kwaqaliswa ngezinsuku eziyi-183 amahora ayi-3,578 phakathi nalesi sikhathi, esilingana nezinsuku eziyi-149.1.
