Aug. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Eskom Holdings Ltd., South Africa's state-owned power utility, will shut down a generator at its Koeberg nuclear-power plant to conduct maintenance work over the next three days.
The Unit-1 generator at the facility near Cape Town will cease operations at 10 a.m. today to allow technicians to repair valves on steam lines that drive its turbines, Tony Stott, Eskom's spokesman for nuclear operations, said in a telephone interview from Johannesburg.
No power cuts are expected as a result of the shutdown and the generator is expected to resume full operations late on Aug. 24, Stott said.
