My first set of pics of this grande old power station in Athlone. Quite a landmark to Capetonians - I've been planning a visit for quite a while. The buildings are even more impressive up close than I had thought. Altho we didn't plan to get inside the station and towers on this day we did get a few numbers and chatted to some of the people working there. We'll hopefully be going back soon ;) More about pics and info on the power station at Urbex :: SA --- The Athlone Power Station was built in 1960. It originally housed 6 turbines with a nominal capacity of 180 megawatts, and was operated by the city of Cape Town. Between 1985 and 1994 the station was held on standby, but it resumed generating in 1995 with a reduced capacity. Between 1995 and 2003 it was mainly used to generate power in peak demand periods and during power failures on the national grid. In 2003, a significant investment was required due to the age of the power station, and generation was hence stopped. Athlone was the last coal-fired power station standing in Cape Town; the others, in the city centre and Salt River, were demolished in the 1980s and 1990s. The station's two cooling towers form a landmark on the N2 freeway into the city, and were fed by reclaimed water from a nearby sewage plant. The lifespan of the towers was extended in 1993 through the addition of reinforcing bands, but on 14 February 2010, the bands on one of the towers collapsed, leading the city to announce that the towers would be demolished. The Athlone Cooling Towers were imploded on the 22nd August 2010. (from wikipedia)
