Eskom inches closer to building a new power station

Eskom has signed the much-anticipated boiler and turbine contracts for a R78,6-billion Medupi coal-fired power station in Limpopo Province. It will be the first to be built in South Africa in more than 20 years. For some reason best know to the spin doctors, the names of the successful bidders have not been revealed. But Spigot cheers anyway for news of something concrete happening on the energy front.
