A letter from MacRobert Attorneys, acting for KiPower (Pty) Ltd and Kuyasa Mining (Pty) Ltd, responding to the Centre for Environmental Rights regarding the environmental authorisation for a proposed 600 MW coal-fired independent power plant in South Africa.

• KiPower (Pty) Ltd intends to conduct a climate change impact assessment for the proposed 600 MW coal-fired power plant, citing the legal precedent established in the case of Earthlife Africa Johannesburg v Minister of Environmental Affairs and Others.
• The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) has contacted KiPower (Pty) Ltd and Kuyasa Mining (Pty) Ltd to discuss various alternatives for addressing the regulatory matters associated with the project.
• MacRobert Attorneys requested an extension until 2 May to respond to the Centre for Environmental Rights, allowing the DEA to complete internal deliberations and the clients to determine a collaborative approach to the regulatory issues.
