It is located 30 km north of Cape Town, near Melkbosstrand on the west coast of South Africa. Koeberg is owned and operated by the country's only national electricity supplier, Eskom. The two reactors at the station form the cornerstone of the South African nuclear program.
Current anti-nuclear campaigns against Koeberg are being run by Earthlife Africa and Koeberg Alert.
