South Africa's National Nuclear Regulator grants Eskom a 20-year extension for Koeberg nuclear plant's Unit 1, postpones Unit 2 decision to 2025.

South Africa's National Nuclear Regulator granted Eskom a 20-year extension for Unit 1 of the Koeberg nuclear plant, extending its operating life until July 2044. The regulator deferred a decision on Unit 2's operation until late 2025, as the assessment of its safety case is still ongoing. The move aims to support South Africa's fragile electricity supply.
