Eskom has signed an agreement with the Cape Peninsula University of Technology for reskilling workers at the Komati power station, which is due for decommissioning at the end of September.
De Ruyter that the last unit at Komati is due for decommissioning in September. Aware of this, Eskom has been looking to repurpose the plant."We had two options. On the one hand we could put a padlock on the gate, and walk away and leave a community that has served Eskom and South Africa well for decades in the lurch. Or we could make an alternative plan and make sure that we provide a new future and new horizon for the people of Komati and the surrounding area.
Eskom had"scouted" both locally and internationally for the right partner to enable training and SARETEC – associated with CPUT – came out tops. De Ruyter said that SARETEC is a leader in its field.Initially, the focus of the training will be at Komati, with the aim to roll this out for all Eskom workers, contractors and others interested in working in renewable energy, De Ruyter added.
