South Africa still faces loadshedding despite the world's largest dry-cooled power station, the Medupi Power Station in Lephalale Limpopo, having achieved commercial operation status on July 31, 2021 in what marked the end of its construction.
Medupi is the fourth-largest coal-fired power station, and although it has taken 14 years to be completed design flaws were found to cause frequent breakdown of units occasioning the rampant loadshedding in recent years.
