(Reuters) – South Africa’s state power utility Eskom reported a fire at its Grootvlei power station on Saturday due to a leak in the fuel oil supply or return pipeline. There were no injuries.
“The fire was contained and extinguished within an hour with no injuries sustained,” Eskom said in a statement on Sunday.
Eskom said the company manually shut down the unit following the fire and was investigating.
