Background
The plant started operation in July 2016 after a 30-month construction period.[9] It was built with the intention to be converted to natural gas and Combined Cycle technology.[4][10]Together with Dedisa Power Station, with a combined capacity of 1005 MW, they are South Africa’s only privately-owned gas plants. It supplies power to Eskom under a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA).”[4]
