A letter from Eskom to the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) detailing the company's position on compliance timeframes for proposed Minimum Emission Standards for its coal-fired power stations.

• Eskom states that ten of its thirteen operational and return-to-service coal-fired power stations can comply immediately with the proposed particulate matter minimum emission standard of 100 mg/Sm. However, three stations require refurbishments, electrostatic precipitator upgrades, or flue gas conditioning plant installations, meaning it will take 8-10 years for all stations to comply with proposed existing plant standards.
• Eskom rejects a suggestion from the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism that all existing plants should eventually comply with new plant standards, arguing that this is unrealistic and not feasible due to the technology, design, and age of existing power stations.
