Electricity Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says he is “worried and also extremely upset” about developments at the Koeberg nuclear power station, where fears have increased that both units could be out simultaneously later this year owing to another Unit 1 outage slip.

Speaking during his weekly Energy Action Plan briefing, Ramokgopa said “he was none the wiser” about the status of the current Unit 1 outage, despite having met with Koeberg managers during the week.
