4 FAQs about Pretoria energy storage peaking power station project

What is a peaking power station?

The term peaking means we can react quickly to changes in demand and provide power to supplement that generated by base-load stations, which are coal and nuclear. South Africa’s peaking power stations are hydroelectric, hydro pumped storage and gas turbine stations.

Who owns Pretoria West power station?

Unit-level coordinates (WGS 84): This ownership tree is part of the Global Energy Ownership Tracker, a project of Global Energy Monitor. Pretoria West power station is a coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 180 MW. The plant was built in 1952, and is owned by Tshwane Electricity Division.

What is a peaking power plant?

Peaking power plants, also known as peaker plants, and occasionally just "peakers", are power plants that generally run only when there is a high demand, known as peak demand, for electricity. Because they supply power only occasionally, the power supplied commands a much higher price per kilowatt hour than base load power.

Why do we need a peaking power plant?

Our contribution of 1,005 MW enhances energy security and resilience. Peaking Power plants play a critical role in stabilizing the national grid by addressing its varying power demands.
