By: By: Lindelani Mbatha

Eskom Chief Operating Officer Jan Oberholzer says they will continue to increase reliability maintenance programme to improve power system reliability.

Oberholzer has been briefing media on issues relating to load shedding, the unbundling of the power utility, and the overall operations of the company.

Early in the morning the Power Utility suspended load shedding until 9 o’clock in the evening as Eskom is in the progress of replenishing the emergency generation reserves.

According to the power utility, Koeberg Unit 1 tripped yesterday morning as a result of a fault on a feed water pump, which is on the secondary plant.

Oberholzer says the generation side of the business remains a concern, especially the availability of the coal power stations.
