There is an error in the terminology used in this article. It currently says: "Majuba has three 665 MW dry-cooled units and three 716 MW wet-cooled units with a total installed capacity of 4,110MW with a turbine Maximum Continuous Rating of 35.3% on the dry-cooled turbines and 37.7% on the wet-cooled units." But "Maximum Continuous Rating" should refer to power, not percent efficiency. Hence the Maximum Continuous Ratings are 665MW and 716MW, and it is the efficiencies that are 35.3% and 37.7%. It would be nice too if it could say whether this is gross or nett efficiency, but I guess the original Eskom website does not say. 109.151.207.179 (talk) 20:40, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
