Eskom,Vgbe Consortium,Power Loss

Eskom rejects the warning by the VGBe Consortium that a water treatment plant failure could result in a significant loss of generation capacity.

The warning by the VGBe Consortium of technical experts appointed by National Treasury that 9 800MW of generation capacity could be lost to the grid at once if a dodgy water treatment plant that serves Medupi and its neighbouring power station Matimba fails is nonsense, according to Eskom .

Eric Shunmagum, senior manager in the office of the group executive for generation, Bheki Nxumalo, said on Monday the 600-page report contains “some inaccuracies”, pointing specifically to the fact that Medupi has its own water treatment plant that is in good condition, as is the one at Matimba
