Jan Oberholzer will oversee the completion of Medupi, Kusile and Koeberg upgrades, boosting SA’s power grid
Former Eskom COO Jan Oberholzer, who retired at the end of April, has signed a contract to stay on at the power utility to oversee some of its most crucial projects including getting all units at Medupi and Kusile online.
Koeberg’s operating licence expires in 2024 and certain upgrades, such as the replacement of the steam generators on both units 1 and 2, are required by the National Nuclear Regulator to extend the operating life of the plant by 20 years. The two new coal-fired power stations, Kusile and Medupi, should have started coming online from 2011, but after huge budget overruns and many design and construction faults, these power stations are still not able to perform to their nameplate capacity of about 4,800MW each.
