Eskom enters key stage of Koeberg revamp as SA's power grid reels | Business

The plant is one of Eskom’s most reliable, making its return to service key to meeting the nation’s energy needs.

The first of two units at the 1 940MW Koeberg plant was shut down last month for refueling and the replacement of its steam generators, work that’s expected to be completed in early June, state power utility Eskom said in an emailed response to questions. The overhaul of the second unit is due to begin a few months later.

Located on the Atlantic coast about 27 kilometers north of Cape Town, Koeberg’s first unit was completed in 1984 and the second the following year. The replacement of its generators was originally expected to be completed in 2021 but the project was dogged by delays. The revamp will extend its lifespan by two decades.

_Business Eskom will take another life time to repair or even upgrade their systems. I am not going to hold my breathe. It is clear we are at a downward trend. The presiding Government will wait for another term of Government or change to make it their problem child. What does one do ?
