Renewable-energy projects considered for Komati repowering

State-owned power utility Eskom is investigating the implementation of solar photovoltaic (PV), wind, battery storage and, possibly, gas power generation projects at Komati power station, in Mpumalanga, as the station is scheduled to shut down this year. “We’ve divided this into two phases. In Phase 1, we’re looking to implement solar PV, wind and battery storage energy projects. In Phase 2, we will look at additional solar PV, wind and battery storage, and possibly gas, if we are able to transport gas to the area,” states Eskom just energy transition GM Mandy Rambharos.
