Koeberg Unit 1 taken offline, says Eskom
Eskom has taken Koeberg Unit 1 offline for repairs following a leak in one of its three steam generators.
The power utility's Sikonathi Mantshantsha says while the leak poses no threat, a decision was taken to take the unit offline for maintenance and refuelling.
"During this period the unit will also undergo its routine maintenance and refuelling, which was originally scheduled to start during February.
"The unit is expected to return to service during May 2021."
He says there is no risk to the plant, personnel or the environment.
"Unit 2 continues to operate safely and to generate at full capacity."
