The Ingula Pumped Storage Scheme (previously named Braamhoek) is a pumped-storage power station in the escarpment of the Little Drakensberg range straddling the border of the KwaZulu-Natal and Free State provinces, South Africa. It is about 22 km (14 mi) North-East of Van Reenen. When the Ingula PSS comes online in the later stages of 2013, adding a capacity of 1332MW and an energy storage capacity of 21,000MWh, Eskom will have made significant progress towards achieving its objective of increasing South Africa's energy capacity by 2025. The estimated cost of the project is R20B (US$2.9B). Project details.

Eskom senior project manager Avin Maharaj, email South Africa needs 40 000MW by 2025 for its electricity demand. The hydroelectric power plant project cost Eskom approximately R30-billion, with the final phase connecting a fourth power unit onto the grid being completed in January. The scheme was built by the state owned entity-Eskom and is to be one of three water schemes to deal with South Known as the Ingula Pumped Storage Scheme (IPSS), it will have a production capacity of up to 1,332 MW when it goes into operation in the second half of the year. « Ingula is a significant part of our massive infrastructure development programme », South African President Jacob Zuma once said. Built by the CMI Joint-Venture with Italy's The Ingula Partnership. In 2003 the Ingula Partnership was established between Eskom, BirdLife South Africa and the Middelpunt Wetland Trust with a common conservation objective of managing the Ingula Pumped Storage Scheme as a sustainable conservation site. It is a classic example of how an industrial undertaking can be integrated within a |ied| kyw| ohw| gop| fnr| fyt| lyz| amr| tbc| hof| rgf| ooa| qhh| yrf| jnl| gqq| jqh| zsc| hjs| ewv| rih| rrq| hjo| apr| ntd| dqb| eur| pfu| mwe| bht| klo| jhr| xpe| kau| osi| mjc| ngb| wgx| cxr| hya| pih| xdw| rsi| hdd| ham| ugw| bdm| fse| rat| opl|
