Abstract: 
Increased plant availability, equipment reliability and safety and health of the personnel have become the significant aspect of the maintenance function within power generation. This paper positions maintenance functions and their impact on organizational performance from a power utility perspective. Research data was collected based on semi-structured interviews on thirteen maintenance engineering management personnel. The findings indicate that the challenges facing maintenance teams in executing maintenance activities include, ageing plant, staff shortage, lack of skills and knowledge and low employee morale. The paper recommended adoption of world class maintenance framework, for maintenance to achieve greater operational performance.
