South Africa: Eskom to appeal Supreme Court censure over Koeberg

Westinghouse Electric Belgium has succeeded in a Supreme Court of Appeal case against a decision by Eskom on 12 August 2014 to award a contract to France’s Areva to replace six steam generators at the 1,800MW Koeberg nuclear power plant in the Western Cape. The ruling overturned an earlier High Court decision in favour of Eskom. Judge Carole Hélène Lewis ordered the utility to rerun the procurement process. Eskom is seeking to challenge the judgement in the Constitutional Court.
