The 4. The construction of the Kusile power plant was started in with all six generating units of the facility originally scheduled for commissioning by However, theKusile project, along with the Medupi power plant project, has suffered delays due to cost overruns and design flaws. The first unit of the power plant achieved commercial operation in August , three years behind the original schedule, while the second and third units were synchronized to the national grid by After achieving full capacity in , the 4.
The scandal involved contracts worth a combined R10 billion resulting in an estimated R75 million being lost due to irregular activities. In May , the Sunday Times summarized "the free-for-all that saw costs for Eskom's half-completed and behind-schedule Kusile power station spiral to R A November report by Meridian Economics described the following problems with the New Largo mine: [37].

Kusile Power Station The Kusile power station project, which is located near the existing Kendal power station, in the Nkangala district of Mpumalanga, comprises of six units, each rated at an MW installed capacity for a total capacity of 4, MW.
Interesting Facts: The power station will be the first in South Africa to install flue-gas desulphurisation FGD — a state-of- the-art technology used to remove oxides of sulphur, such as sulphur dioxide, from exhaust flue gases in power plants that burn coal or oil.
The technology is also an atmospheric emission abatement technology in line with current international practice. The construction work related to the infrastructure of the plant, including water and wastewater treatment works, access roads and railway lines, will be carried out under the project. The FGD technology is used to extract sulphur oxides SOx from the flue gases of the power plant, which burns fossil fuels. The technology is also an atmospheric emission abatement technology in line with current international practice.
FGD is being implemented in Kusile to meet air quality standards, as the plant is based in a priority airshed. It utilises limestone as the raw material for desulphurisation and produces gypsum as a by-product. The hydrogen-cooled generators will increase the efficiency of the power plant.
Each supercritical tower boiler is approximately m high. The t MVA generator step-up transformer was put on its foundation in October An air-cooling system is used in the plant to conserve water. The fossil fuel coal is used to produce the steam that drives the steam turbine and connected electricity generators.
Associated air-cooled condensers supported by 60m-high concrete columns and turbine island auxiliary equipment, along with six feedwater heating plants, will also be installed in the plant. Other associated infrastructure being developed for the power station include administrative buildings, coal stockyard, coal and ash conveyors, water-supply pipelines, water and wastewater treatment facilities, ash disposal systems, railway line, high-voltage yard, limestone offloading facilities, access roads and dams for water storage.
The loan can be repaid over 12 years, after the commissioning of relevant units of the power plant.
