A two-year delay on the Koeberg project 'will further exacerbate the power supply constraints, leading to massive amounts of unserved energy.' 💡 For the full story, click here➡️
had originally planned to undertake the steam generator replacement on unit two during its refuelling outage from January. This was postponed as any delays in completing the work – which were realistic – posed “significant risk” to the grid.
Such a delay means Eskom will need an additional 15TWh of supply per year – over and above the energy needed without any shift in timelines on this project. The report does, however, caution that its base case is for “no impact” on the nearly 2 000MW from Koeberg between now and 2027. In other words, it expects the steam generator replacement projects at both units to be completed within the required timelines, as well as no delays in the regulatory process.
But, while the commissioning of outstanding Kusile units sees this improve in this scenario by 2024, it steadily increases to 30TWh in 2027. This is because of the planned shutdown of two units at Kriel, four at Arnot, eight at Camden, six at Hendrina and two at Grootvlei over the next five years .
