Kusile Power Station’s Unit 5, which was first synchronised to the grid in December, will now begin contributing power.
This comes as the power utility has maintained 100 days of uninterrupted electricity supply.
“We stated in our winter outlook… that we would add new generation capacity to the grid with Kusile Power Station Unit 5, as part of our intense focus on delivering the Generation Operational Recovery Plan. This addition is part of a total of 2500MW that will be added before the end of this calendar year.
“The delivery of the unit, as part of our Generation Operational Recovery Plan, showcases the remarkable achievements possible when our 40 000 employees work together as a collective. According to Eskom, the unit was first synchronised to the grid in December 2023 but will now ‘begin contributing power, increasing Kusile Power Station’s total output to 4000MW’.
