Energy Net on 16 Jan 09South Africa expects its next nuclear power plant to come on stream by 2019, two years later than initially planned by utility Eskom, which has dropped plans to build the facility due to financial woes. While Eskom was hoping nuclear energy would supply one quarter or 20,000 megawatts (MW) of South Africa's expanded generating capacity by 2025, the government says a target of 6,000 MW in the same period is more feasible.
