President Jacob Zuma will on Sunday, 30 August 2015, officially open Medupi Unit 6 in Lephalale, Limpopo Province.
The Medupi Power Station Unit 6 project is a green-fields coal-fired power plant comprising six units rated in total at 4 800 MW installed capacity.
It was first synchronised to the national grid on 2 March 2015, and has been able to alleviate pressure on the national electricity system, helping to either avoid load-shedding altogether or minimise its severity.
The commercial operation of Unit 6 is also a critical milestone in efforts to build new generating capacity in the country.
