The utility, Eskom, has struggled to keep up with the demand. Although it has made great strides in reducing their frequency in recent years, blackouts still occur.  So it is carrying out a plan to strengthen its  network by increasing its production capacity by 10,932 megawatts (MW). The power house, located below the Little Drakensberg mountain range along the border of the KwaZulu-Natal and Free State provinces, is part of that plan. It and two other new plants are to add a combined 10,932 MW within 2022, expanding installed capacity by 23%.
