• Conclusion
… drives the need to establish Eskom Power Plant Engineering Institute
Critical skill shortage in engineering arena require special investment to develop
high quality engineers with practical skills.
Eskom has the unique opportunity to capture the knowledge from the new-build
programme and various improvement initiatives.
OEM and tertiary institutions locally and abroad are keen to partner with Eskom.
Changing context …
Increase the number of Power Plant industry focused MSc and PhDs.
Ensure South African universities participate fully in transferring and
localizing new technologies currently being offered to Eskom by OEMs.
Ensure South African universities are actively involved in solving Eskom
specific engineering problems.
Leverage the expertise of international universities and utilities.

Forecasted with:
Demand +2.9%/year
Load factor: 70%
Demand keeps increasing. Most of the installed
capacity is more than 30 years old.

GWe
Actual peak production
- Increase availability (90/7/3) of existing units and increase their residual lifetime.
- Re-commission mothballed units and erect new capacities.
- Reduce carbon footprint by energy savings and renewable energy development.
- Contribute to build a power industry and create jobs in South Africa.
Available capacity was exceeded for daily peak in
2007.

Eskom’s key objectives since the early 2000s
Gas I: 1040 MW added up to 2442 MW of OCGT
At Ankerlig and Gourikwa sites in the Western Cape.
RTS: 23 mothballed coal-fired units totaling 3800 MW
are Return-to-service (RTS) at Camden (8) , Grootvlei
(6), and Komati (9).
Two large coal-fired Power Stations: 4800 MW
6 units at each site of Medupi in Lephalale and Kusile
with wet flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) at Kusile.
Life extension & pollutant emissions reduction on
a number of the 87 Eskom coal power units and
Koeberg.
Eskom flagship projects (1/2)
Sere Wind Farm: 100 MW over 16 km2
Near Vredendal in the Western Cape
Solar 1: 100 MW CSP with binary salt mixture
Near Upington in the Northern Cape
Pumped-storage Scheme @ Ingula (1332 MW : 4x 333
MW) 2 dams, 4.6kms apart at Bedford and Braamhoek in
little Drakensberg
Transmission and distribution grid expansion
Efficiency improvement and smart grid development
Large amount of funds & skills needed to complement the power mix
for which all options are still opened: wind, solar, coal, gas and nuclear.
