Eskom has announced that maintenance to Koeberg Unit 1 is nearing completion.
Eskom announced on Friday that Koeberg Unit 1’s steam generators had been replaced and should be synchronised to the grid by the end of October 2023.
“This marks another milestone on Eskom’s Generation Operational Recovery Plan, which is aimed at sustainably improving generation performance by improving the energy availability factor to an average of 65% by March 2024,” Eskom stated. “Currently, the water in the reactor circuit, which includes the three steam generators, has been increased to its operating pressure and temperature ,” said Eskom.
“The three steam generators on Unit 2 are scheduled for replacement in the upcoming Unit 2 outage, which will start once the Unit 1 commissioning is complete,” Eskom said.
