South Africa's Eskom says nuclear power station unit resumes supply

CAPE TOWN (Reuters) – South Africa’s power utility Eskom said on Tuesday it had restarted a 900-megawatt unit at its Koeberg nuclear station after routine refuelling and maintenance. Africa’s most advanced economy is suffering its most severe power shortage since 2008 as state-owned Eskom struggles to keep the lights on. Eskom has suffered from years of underfunding and investment in new plants and is struggling to meet demand.
