“This will contribute to alleviating some of the problems experienced with the Koeberg Power Station being out of commission for repairs for approximately nine months”, said Minerals and Energy Minister Lindiwe Hendricks.“It is anticipated that this will lower the peak demand by approximately 100 megawatts, which is significant as one of the two Koeberg units can supply 800 megawatts.”
