Kusile's Unit 3 synchronised to national grid '8 months ahead of target date'
JOHANNESBURG - Unit 3 of the Kusile Power Station, situated near eMalahleni in Mpumalanga, was synchronised to the national grid and produced its first power early on Tuesday evening, power utility Eskom said.
“I would like to thank everyone involved in this mammoth project, particularly the Kusile leadership and staff for achieving this significant and highly commendable milestone for Eskom and for the country. Thank you too for your continued commitment and for going the many extra miles in striving to achieve Eskom’s objectives. We are proud of your collective achievements and we salute you all.”
"The next step will be testing and optimisation of the unit over several months which means it will be providing intermittent power to the grid, and at times may even provide zero megawatts. Once all the testing is done, the unit will be fully powered at 800MW and feed into the national grid for the country’s consumption," Eskom said.
