Eskom to close down power stations | TechCentral


Eskom in South Africa to close down 4 power stations in favour of renewable power producers Eskom spokesman Khulu Phasiwe on Tuesday confirmed that the power utility will expedite plans to close four power stations in order to accommodate renewable independent power producers (IPPs). The stations are the 3GW Kriel, 1GW Komati, 2GW Hendrina and the 1,6GW Camden power stations, all in Mpumalanga. Phasiwe says two of Komati’s six units have in fact already been closed and its other units as well as the other three stations will be closed down gradually as renewable IPPs connect to the grid.
