State-owned Eskom has synchronised the second unit at its Ingula pumped storage scheme to the national grid, only weeks after reporting that the first unit had been synchronised to the grid a year ahead of schedule.
 
Eskom’s target was to have all four units commercially operational by July 2017. 

Once completed, the Ingula pumped storage scheme would have capacity to produce 1 332 MW.

“This accelerated drive to complete our massive capacity expansion programme is aimed at ensuring that we realise our aspiration of making load-shedding a distant memory,” said Eskom CEO Brian Molefe.
