The BBC Congratulates Eskom For Achieving An Energy Availability Factor (EAF) Of 70.78%

Johannesburg,  16 May 2024: The Black Business Council (BBC) applauds the ESKOM Board ably led by Chairman Mteto Nyati, Management lead by GCEO Dan Marokane, Group Generation led by Bheki Nxumalo as Group Executive and all employees on improving the Energy Availability Factor (EAF) to 70.78%, “a milestone last achieved nearly three (3) years ago. This has led to the power utility suspending load shedding for more than a month.

The BBC is more impressed as this achievement was attained without an increased use of diesel or significant usage of Open Cycle Gas Turbines (OCGTs). The improved EAF was achieved even though Generation planned maintenance averaged above 16%, being the highest over the last three years.

The BBC has always emphasised that the only technically sound and proven solution to stopping load-shedding was to recover Eskom generation plants and achieve sustained improvements in generation performance. All the other unproven solutions sponsored by paid renewable energy lobbyists will never take the country out of its misery of blackouts. A sustainable energy is required on a constant basis for the recovery and reconstruction of the economy.

The BBC urges ESKOM to continue to focus on maintenance in order to improve the baseload (dispatchable) energy supply to South Africans. This is needed by business in order to grow the economy, reduce unemployment, poverty and unemployment.

Eskom should disregard the naysayers who don’t believe that black leadership can achieve anything positive and also continue to ignore the noise made by its erstwhile incompetent CEO who is desperate for attention.

  2. The need for multifaceted PR professionals is also essential in a world where virality and a 24/7 news cycle are part of everyday life. Consumers continue to hold their favorite brands and businesses accountable for social and political issues. PR teams must act quickly and strategically to maintain a positive relationship with their audiences. According to a report by Edelman, 43% of professionals said COVID-19 and the events of 2020 significantly disrupted their communications agenda. Some 73% of chief communications officers also report that social issues shifted their communications agenda.
