Jeppe Street Power Station

Jeppe Street Power Station was the third of Joburg's power station. Built after World War One and next to the existing installations,[1] the Jeppe Street Power station was intended to meet a surging in demand for electricity. The power station was commissioned in 1927 with a Turbine Hall and a single “North Boiler House”. A south boiler house was added in 1934.[2] The station was decommissioned in 1961, though it was maintained on standby for back uppower until 2000.[3] AngloGold Ashanti purchased the site and redeveloped it into confence venue and office space.[4]
