Eskom’s 3.6-GW coal-fired Matla Power Station’s six 600-MW units in Mpumalanga near Kriel, South Africa, were built between 1979 and 1983. The plant features a concrete boiler house structure, an innovative choice driven by a global steel shortage during construction.

Today, Matla remains vital to South Africa's power grid despite operational and maintenance challenges. Courtesy: Eskom
