This audit report, dated 17 February 2016 and compiled by Leroy Construction and Projects for Eskom Komati Power Station, evaluates compliance with the station's Atmospheric Emissions License (AEL) issued under Section 43 of the National Environmental Management Air Quality Act, 2004. The audit found a 91% compliance rate, with 41 of 45 conditions met, though it identified four specific areas of non-compliance.

• The audit determined that Eskom Komati Power Station achieved a compliance index of 91%, meeting 41 out of 45 verified AEL conditions, which exceeds the 'acceptable compliance index' of 80%.
• The power station failed to meet the permitted fuel oil consumption limit in September and October 2015 due to burner design instability in combustion units 1-3. To address this, the Eskom Centre of Excellence was tasked with redesigning the Pulverised Fuel burners on these units by 30 December 2016.
• The station is non-compliant regarding the installation of continuous emission monitoring equipment for PM, SO2, and NOx for all units. Currently, only one piece of equipment exists for the East Stack (units 1-5) and one for the West Stack (units 6-9).
• The audit noted a delay in submitting the air quality offset implementation plan, originally due by 31 March 2016. Eskom's Centre of Excellence Air Quality Division proposed a new date of 30 April 2016 in a letter sent to the Licensing Authority on 10 February 2016.
