Eskom finalising PPP framework for 5 GW just energy transition pipeline

Eskom reports that repowering projects with a combined capacity of 5 GW are currently under development across six coal power station sites and that it is aiming to implement 2 GW by 2026, mostly through public-private partnerships (PPPs). In a presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Electricity and Energy, the State-owned company said the projects formed part of the repowering component of its Just Energy Transition (JET) strategy, which was also central to “kickstarting” a broader aspiration to introduce 20 GW of clean generation by 2040.
