- Eskom chief operating officer Jan Oberholzer admitted to Parliament that a recent fire at unit 5 of the Kusile power station may delay the unit’s completion by a whole year, until December 2024.
- “Again, I need to emphasise that [the fire] was during the commissioning of that component and we don’t believe that there was any foul play,” said Oberholzer..
- He said that the preliminary estimate is for a delay of 12 months, but this could be shortened following some internal “arm wrestling” in Eskom.
