Electricity generation

At the heart of an electricity utility such as Eskom is the responsibility for supplying the electricity on which modern society depends.
Eskom's power stations operate 365 days a year. Like most other power utilities Eskom's Generation Group maintains a varied portfolio of plant: gas turbine, hydroelectric, pumped storage and nuclear units in addition to the coal fired plant.
