The announcement was made on Friday after representatives of a dozen Indian energy companies met Eskom executives on the sidelines of the Urja Matla Energy Conference.
The conference was hosted by the Indian Consulate General and the Wits Business School.
Harish Kumar, Commercial Representative and Head of Chancery at the Indian Consulate in Johannesburg, said at the meeting that India was ready to help Eskom in renovation and modernisation, equipping them with efficient systems through supercritical and ultra supercritical sets, emission control, and latest technologies in transmission and distribution.
«Also, we would be willing to provide a simulator of Powerplant Control Room to train the local manpower of Eskom in the operation of power plants. This simulator can be housed in Wits Business School, where the National Power Training Institute (NPTI)and National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) will train the trainers, which is as per the MoU inked between NTPC and Eskom,» Kumar said.
He added that the housing would be done as soon as Eskom confirmed the required rating of the Powerplant Simulator. The consulate earlier helped facilitate an MoU signed between NTPC and Eskom.
