South Africa confronts power shortages, unveiling plans for a 2,500-megawatt nuclear power boost to combat its energy crisis. With the Koeberg plant, the country’s sole nuclear facility, operating at half capacity, the initiative aims to bridge the generation-demand gap. Scheduled for launch by 2032 or 2033, this move seeks to address chronic power cuts affecting the economy. Amidst Eskom’s challenges, the expansion strives to bolster energy reliability and confront South Africa’s enduring power predicament.
