It is regarded as the biggest dry-cooled power station in the world and the fourth largest coal plant in the Southern Hemisphere. Medupi has a planned operational life of 50 years and is the fourth dry-cooled, baseload station built in 20 years by Eskom after Kendal, Majuba and Matimba power stations. The boiler and turbine contracts for Medupi are the largest C that Eskom has signed in its 90-year history. M Y CM MY CY CMY “ K With the deployment of Challenges Medupi Power Station required specialised equipment to clean the HPVR-1000 vacuum and remove a diverse range of materials, such as ash, slurries, coal, and sludge’s at the power station during the final phase of truck, we have managed the restructuring. Environmentally conscious Medupi requires suppliers to comply with stringent standards. to quickly clear water from trenches, sumps and Solution Medupi Power Station selected Goscor Cleaning Equipment as a cavities.

  • The Future of South African Coal: Market, Investment, and Policy Challenges
    PROGRAM ON ENERGY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Working Paper #100 January 2011 THE FUTURE OF SOUTH AFRICAN COAL: MARKET, INVESTMENT, AND POLICY CHALLENGES ANTON EBERHARD FREEMAN SPOGLI INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES FREEMAN SPOGLI INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES About the Program on Energy and Sustainable Development The Program on Energy and Sustainable Development (PESD) is an international, interdisciplinary program that studies how institutions shape patterns of energy production and use, in turn affecting human welfare and environmental quality. Economic and political incentives and pre-existing legal frameworks and regulatory processes all play crucial roles in determining what technologies and policies are chosen to address current and future energy and environmental challenges. PESD research examines issues including: 1) effective policies for addressing climate change, 2) the role of national oil companies in the world oil market, 3) the emerging global coal market, 4) the world natural gas market with a focus on the impact of unconventional sources, 5) business models for carbon capture and storage, 6) adaptation of wholesale electricity markets to support a low-carbon future, 7) global power sector reform, and 8) how modern energy services can be supplied sustainably to the world’s poorest regions. The Program is part of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University. PESD gratefully acknowledges substantial core funding from BP and EPRI.
