Unit 2 of Eskom’s Medupi power station has come online eight months ahead of schedule.
According to the utility Unit 2 at Medupi Power Station produced its first power on Sunday, 7 October, ahead of the June 2019 schedule. The unit was loaded to 400MW, making it the fifth of the six Medupi units to be synchronised to the national grid. “The achievement of Unit 2 first synchronisation marks a key milestone towards full commercial operation of the unit. Lessons learnt on previous units were implemented on Unit 2, leading to the swiftness in delivering first power. “This is an amazing achievement, taking us closer to completing the entire Medupi project, as we will be left with one unit,” said Eskom’s Group Executive for Group Capital, Abram Masango.Eskom’s Medupi Unit 2 comes online
