The John Ware Power Station is up and running, generating 50MW of energy for Gauteng. The John Ware Power Station is up and running, generating 50MW of energy for Gauteng.

The John Ware Power Station is set to contribute 50MW to the grid together with three other generators.

This week, a gaggle of officials gathered at the John Ware Power Station in Fordsburg to celebrate its decommissioning. Unfortunately, this open cycle gas turbine is only set to generate 50MW of energy. That energy is also generated by burning diesel, a costly endeavour which often leaves OCGT’s reserved for emergencies. City Power has two more generators in its fleet, namely Karzene and Cottesloe, which generate 50MW of energy each.

However, Gauteng is also looking to create solar microgrids. These microgrids service regions in Gauteng directly rather than adding to the provincial grid. City Power launched a successful pilot of the programme earlier this year in Alexandra.
