Koeberg remains SA's best electricity option- Eskom

This is according to Eskom management who reiterated their stance on the matter in their address at a joint meeting of Parliament’s public enterprises and mineral resources and energy portfolio committees on Wednesday.

Koeberg’s licence is due to expire in 2024 but Eskom will be extending its lifespan by updating key areas of the plant, including the steam generators.“We have been engaged during previous outages on plugging of those cracks,” said Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter, confirming that the power utility was in consultation over the generators with the National Nuclear Regulator, which oversees the safety aspects of the plant.

The CEO emphasized that work at the site was being carried out safely and would not put the public in any harm’s way.
