In its most recent presentations on the performance of its power stations, Eskom has pointed to improvements in the energy availability factor (EAF) from its coal-fired power stations over the past few months as evidence of a solid operational turnaround. The State-owned utility shows, for example, that the EAF, which fell to 67.68% in April 2015, the start of its 2016 financial year, recovered to 74.6% 12 months later.
