The Jeppe Street Power Station was Johannesburg's third power generating facility, built in the Newtown area of the city after the First World War. It was commissioned in 1927 with a turbine hall and a single north boiler house, and a south boiler house was added in 1934. The station stopped generating power in 1961 but was kept available as emergency backup capacity until 2000. The mining company AngloGold Ashanti later redeveloped the industrial building into conference and office space.
