A Repowering Revolution in Action
What if we told you one of the boldest coal-to-clean transitions in the world… is happening right now in South Africa?
Eskom, the country’s largest utility, is repowering up to 5 GW of ageing coal capacity across six sites.
Not demolishing.
Not walking away.
Repowering.
Building Clean Energy on Coal’s Foundations
🔋 Solar. Wind. Storage.
All built on top of existing fossil infrastructure — using grid connections, cooling systems, land, and workforce that already exist.
Why does it matter?
Because this isn’t a pilot.
It’s not a theory.
It’s real, and it’s happening now.
This is a utility-scale blueprint for what a smart, just transition can look like — in a country where coal still dominates the grid and the stakes are high for communities, jobs, and energy access.
Proof That Repowering Works
✅ It’s proof that repowering is real.
✅ It’s scalable.
✅ And it works.
So the next time someone says:
“Sure, but repowering isn’t happening anywhere yet…”
You know what to send them.
