Eskom's Medupi Unit 4 Synchronized to National Grid
Unit 4 of Eskom's Medupi power station was synchronized to the national grid on May 31, 2017, marking significant progress in its commissioning. This synchronization is crucial for the unit's anticipated commercial operation in 2018 and indicates advancements in Eskom's new build program.

Eskom's Unit 4 at the Medupi power station was synchronized to the national power grid on May 31, 2017, becoming the third of six units to be connected. This milestone supports the unit's planned commercial operation in 2018 and underscores progress in Eskom's new construction initiatives.
Medupi will ultimately have an installed capacity of 4,800 MW and is designed for a 50-year operational lifespan. As the largest dry-cooled power station globally, it utilizes direct dry-cooling due to local water scarcity. Additionally, Medupi employs supercritical technology for enhanced efficiency and environmental performance, optimizing resource use.
