The 2016/17 annual emissions report for Eskom's Duvha Power Station records total emissions of approximately 16.5 million tons of CO2 and 1.4 million tons of SO2. The report notes emission spikes in December and January 2016 due to plant failures and details ongoing projects to reduce particulate matter via High Frequency Transformers and improve SO2 plant reliability with a new sulphur tank.

• Total emissions for the 2016/2017 financial year included 16,509,591.00 tons of CO2, 1,401,28.20 tons of SO2, 68,638.00 tons of NOx, 3,773.37 tons of particulate matter (PM), and 275.50 tons of N2O.
• High emission trends occurred during December and January 2016, which were attributed to plant failures including SO2 plant trips, faulty precipitator fields, and malfunctioning air lift vessels.
• Eskom is conducting a test project on unit 5 to install High Frequency Transformers (HFT’s) to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing particulate matter emissions. The goal is to meet the 2020 minimum emission limits of 50mg/Nm3 for all units; if successful, the technology will be expanded to units 4 and 6.
• A feasibility study is underway for the installation of a spare Sulphur tank to improve the availability and reliability of the SO2 plant.
• No legal compliance audit was performed for the 2016/17 financial year, as the legal audit cycle occurs every two years and the 2015/16 audit remained relevant.
