CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa will build a second conventional nuclear power station in a bid to boost lagging energy supplies, Public Enterprises Minister Alec Erwin said on Monday.
"The decision to build the second plant has been taken... the technology has been evaluated and we hope to make a decision on the preferred bidder in the first quarter of this year," Erwin told a news briefing at parliament.
Africa's economic giant, South Africa currently operates the only nuclear power station on the continent at Koeberg, about 50 km (31 miles) outside Cape Town.
The country is facing a serious energy crisis, which has seen intermittent blackouts as the national grid struggles to cope with increasing demand.
Energy utility Eskom has predicted that the country could face power shortages as it prepares to host the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
