Camden Coal Power Plant in Mpumalanga, South Africa, is a coal-fired power plant operated by Eskom. Camden was commissioned in 1967. Between 1990 and 2006 the station was mothballed, but the South Africa energy crisis in early 21st century prompted Eskom to recommission the station, starting with unit 6 in July 2005 and completing with unit 1 in July 2008.
Camden Coal Power Plant power is generated by eight 200MW units with a total installed capacity on 1,600MW. Turbine Maximum Continuous Rating is 33.40%.
In addition to feeding the South African grid, Camden, along with Arnot Power Station, also feeds the Mozal Aluminium smelter in Mozambique via 400kV transmission lines. Mozal consumes around 950MW.
