South Africa Is Anticipated To Deepen Serious Shortage Of Electricity Supply In March- Heavy Rainfall Caused Short Supply Of Coal, Electric Power Generation Plants Have Faced Troubled Operations

摘要

The supply situation of electric power in South Africa is anticipated to deepen a seriousness of the shortage for the time being. Owing to a heavy rainfall continued recently for 2 - 3 weeks, the short supply of coal to electric power generation plants has arisen and, therefore, the operations at plants have been lowered. In addition to these problems, the facilities to generate electric power installed at plants have been troubled. Under the circumstances, the executive of Eskom, national corporation of electric power in South Africa, said that, as far as this serious situation of electric power continues, a short supply of 3,000 Mega Watt is forecasted to arise in March of this year.
