Kusile Power Station
Victor Khanye Local Municipality, South Africa
The 299th largest power station in the world
Kusile Power Station (previously known as Project Bravo) in South Africa is a coal-fired power plant owned and operated by the country's state-owned power utility Eskom and is located in the province of Mpumalanga. The station consists of 6 generating units with a nameplate capacity of 800 MW each, bringing the total installed capacity to 4,800 MW. As of 23 March 2025, all 6 units of Kusile are operational (6 × 800MW). Following the addition of Unit 6 to the grid, Kusile Power Station was described as "the most expensive coal power plant in the history of mankind" due to the fact that the project went way over budget and was completed way later than its expected date of completion.
