South African power utility Eskom announced that a unit at the Koeberg nuclear power plant shut down unexpectedly. The unplanned shutdown occurred when Koeberg Unit 2 tripped while operating at full capacity, though Eskom confirmed it was not due to a technical fault. Eskom stated that the trip happened inadvertently during ongoing work on Unit 1, which has been offline for maintenance. Following the incident, Unit 2 was switched off as a precautionary measure in line with standard operational protocols. Eskom assured the public that efforts to restart the affected unit were underway, with reconnection expected within 48 hours.
