The Hendrina Power Station Consolidated Life-ex Report details the technical requirements and cost projections for extending the operational life of the power station's boilers and turbine plant until 2025. It outlines critical maintenance, equipment replacements, and retrofits needed for Units 1-10 to ensure structural integrity, safety, and compliance with environmental legislation.

• To comply with future emissions legislation and the NEMAQA Act 39 of 2004, the report recommends retrofitting low NOx burners to achieve NOx emissions of less than 750 mg/m.
• The report identifies critical immediate needs for water infrastructure, including lining the 7-Year Dam and two Raw Water Reservoirs to comply with The National Water Act and avoid infringing on Water Use License conditions.
• For boiler units 1-5, a modular replacement strategy for primary superheater and economizer tube banks is recommended to achieve a 12-year life for each bank and reduce tube leaks to less than one per year.
• The report recommends a complete replacement of auxiliary steam lines because the majority of the existing lines have little remaining life, posing a fatal risk to personnel who walk in those areas daily.
• For boiler units 6-10, the report suggests a milling plant upgrade using high performance rotating throats and static classifiers to increase mill throughput by 20% and product fineness by 15% to support low NOx burners.
• The turbine centerline measures are projected to be realizable during a 90-day outage, though this could be reduced to 50 days if a new turbine design is selected.
