A submission from Eskom to Working Group 1 requesting revisions to proposed Minimum Emission Standards for power plants, specifically regarding particulate matter (PM) limits for existing plants and sulfur dioxide (SO2) limits for new plants.

• Eskom requests that the minimum particulate matter (PM) emission standard for existing plants be increased from 75 mg/Sm³ to 100 mg/Sm³, noting that some return-to-service stations were designed for 100 mg/Sm³ as agreed with the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism.
• Eskom proposes that the 500 mg/Sm³ SO2 minimum emission standard for new plants apply only to pulverised fuel (PF) stations using wet flue gas desulphurisation (FGD). The company argues that resource constraints regarding water and sorbent may necessitate alternative technologies, such as fluidised bed combustion, to maintain the country's power supply.
• Eskom identifies the Kusile power station as a site currently under construction that will likely install wet FGD, making the 500 mg/Sm³ interim SO2 standard applicable to it.
