Each year has seen the station among the top three winners of the NOSA Cape region competition. Last year, Palmiet also achieved the milestone of 2 million working hours without a lost time injury. This shows remarkable persistence as it took the small staff of employees at the power station a total of 13 years to accomplish the feat. The two Eskom power stations are also part of intercatchment water transfer schemes which deliver much needed water to Gauteng and Cape Town respectively. Tours of Palmiet Pumped Storage Scheme can be booked at the Palmiet Visitors Centre on 859-2690.
Tours are free of charge and during business hours only.
