Summary
The South African Department of Environmental Affairs has paused Eskom's application to postpone compliance with 2015 Minimum Emission Standards for the Duvha Power Station, citing missing data on air quality trends, residential impact modelling, human health assessments, and comprehensive environmental impact studies.
Key insights
- The South African Department of Environmental Affairs has placed Eskom's application for a postponement of compliance with the 2015 Minimum Emission Standards for the Duvha Power Station on hold due to insufficient information.
- The Department identified four specific gaps in Eskom's application: ambient air quality monitoring graphs lack time series plots to show trends and exceedances; there is no modelled data with isopleths showing residential area positions; there are no assessments of emissions' impact on human health and the environment; and the environmental impact assessment was limited to FGD and did not cover the receiving environment as required by law.
