Eskom delays Koeberg unit return-to-service

Eskom has revealed that Koeberg's Unit 2 generator will only return to service by the end of July 2022, after previously confirming that it was set for the middle of the month.

The power utility's chief operating officer Jan Oberholzer attributed the delays to unexpected issues with the unit's polar crane, which it has now resolved.

Planning ahead is a western/colonial concept.

Once the generating unit has been ramped up successfully, it will add 920MW to the national power grid.

I read earlier that Koeberg was originally built to supply the Western Cape with power

Always add between 2 weeks and 20 years to any Eskom ETA just to be safe.
