Eskom reports that it has made progress in addressing major boiler defects at the Kusile (pictured) and Medupi power stations. This, after encountering issues with load losses associated with the pulse-jet fabric filter plant, gas air heaters and mills. Eskom says it has completed 80% of the work required to correct the defects and expects all operating boilers at the two power stations to be rectified by 2023. The improvements, thus far, have resulted in Medupi’s energy availability factor increasing from below 50% in 2020, to over 80%; excluding Medupi Unit 4, which exploded in 2021 and is out of commission.
