THE return to service of Kusile Unit 3 on Saturday (30 September) is a significant step towards ending load shedding – but it comes at a price as Eskom is unable to comply with the requirements regarding sulphur emissions, says Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa.
He was speaking on Sunday during his weekly briefing about progress in the implementation of government’s energy action plan.
After some load shedding reprieve over the weekend, Eskom suspended it on Sunday until Monday afternoon.
The unit that has now come online at Kusile is the first of three units impacted by a chimney collapse about a year ago. moneyweb.co.za
