The new problems with managing coal and ash at Medupi followed a breakdown in a conveyor belt that feeds coal to the power station.
The 7km-long coal belt transported 4 000 tons per hour from Exxaro’s Grootegeluk mine to Medupi. The tail-end of the belt suddenly snapped and twisted on Saturday, with the weight of the coal damaging the machine. Eskom chair and acting CEO, Jabu Mabuza, said the belt should be fixed by Wednesday.
But the power utility said that the power system remains constrained, and load shedding may be implemented at short notice.
Earlier in the week, the utility blamed the current wave of power cuts, which began on Wednesday, on boiler leaks and the breakdown of a conveyor belt transporting coal to Medupi power station. Eskom also said delays in returning units that were on planned maintenance to service contributed to supply constraints, as did diesel shortages.
