Nuclear and renewable: South Africa's ambitious new energy mix | The Japan Times: "South Africa currently has the sole nuclear power plant on the continent, situated at Koeberg, north of Cape Town. The twin reactors there contribute nearly 2,000 megawatts, a little over 4 percent of the national power output.
The government wants to pump an extra 9,600 megawatts of nuclear power into the national grid by building eight new reactors at an estimated cost of some $50 billion.
China, France, Russia, South Korea and the United States are bidding to construct the plants, with the winner expected to be announced early next year.
Apart from nuclear energy, South Africa is pressing ahead with renewable energy options."
