Eskom had 49 days of coal stocks across its system and was working with Exxaro, which has been hit by a strike, to ensure continued operations at power stations, the utility said yesterday. “We have been managing to reclaim [coal] from the stockpiles, despite the safety and operational challenges posed by the strike, and we have worked with Exxaro to ensure continued operations. However, we are concerned about the impact of a continued strike on stockpiles and on the mines themselves,” Eskom said. – Dineo Faku
