Colenso Power Station was a South African coal-fired power station, located in Colenso, KwaZulu-Natal (Uthukela District Municipality) on the banks of the Tugela River. It was built in the 1920s by the South African Railways to supply electricity for the railways,[1] and was subsequently sold to the Electricity Supply Commission (Eskom).
