Unit 6 at Kusile power station officially entered into commercial operation on September 29, marking the end of Eskom’s multi-decade build programme – one which experienced well-publicised delays, major cost overruns, and technical problems, alongside allegations of serious corruption. Construction, which started in August 2008, was initially expected to take six years, but took 17 years instead. Likewise, the project’s initial budget of less than R80-billion ballooned to above R233-billion.
