Eskom disappointed by Hitachi's boiler delay

Eskom CEO Brian Dames has expressed his 'disappointment' with industrial group Hitachi over the delay in the building of the boilers for the important Meduphi power station.

Eskom said it is unlikely that the closure of the Medupi and Kusile construction sites for two weeks will have any impact on the delivery of the power stations on time.

Eskom is confident it can save at least 10% of the costs of building the Medupi and Kusile power stations, chief officer for generation Brian Dames said.
