South Africa: Public gets 3 more weeks to comment on Eskom nuclear site

On 2026-05-11, Eskom extended public comment on its proposed 5,200MW nuclear power station site-selection environmental scoping report to 25 May. The review concerns the new nuclear build project at Koeberg in Western Cape, and critics said the extension was still too short. The action is a project milestone in South Africa's nuclear power infrastructure planning process.
