Rooiwal Power Station is a 300-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant near Pretoria in Gauteng, South Africa.
The plant was completed between 1962 and 1970, and is owned by Tshwane Electricity Division.
[2] In April 2015 the City of Tshwane said it was seeking proposals to renovate two coal-fired power plants to their original design capacity: Pretoria West Power Station and Rooiwal Power Station.
Both are operating considerably below their capacity partly because they have been designed to use anthracite, a grade of coal that is more profitable to export.
[3] In 2023, it along with the Pretoria West Power Station were not operational for the past 11 years (despite having a staff of 200 at Rooiwal).
