South African officials are hoping the gradual recovery of one of the country’s biggest coal-fired power stations will reduce its crippling power blackouts.
JOHANNESBURG — South African officials are hoping that the gradual recovery of one of the country’s biggest coal-fired power stations will reduce crippling power blackouts.
The units have been out of service since they broke down in October last year, contributing significantly to the blackouts, known in South Africa as loadshedding. The Kusile power station has six generating units capable of producing 800 megawatts each, making it one of the biggest coal-fired power stations in the world with a total capacity of 4,800 megawatts of electricity.
The government remains under pressure to bring Kusile and another power station, Medupi, up to full operation.
