The South African Department of Environmental Affairs has placed Eskom's application to postpone compliance with the 2015 Minimum Emission Standards for the Hendrina Power Station on hold. The department cited missing data on stack emission limits, future SO2 and NOx compliance, air quality trends, and a lack of comprehensive health and environmental impact assessments.

• The Department of Environmental Affairs has placed Eskom's application for the postponement of compliance with the 2015 Minimum Emission Standards for Hendrina Power Station on hold due to several missing data points and assessments. Specifically, the application failed to provide current stack emission limits, indications of future compliance for SO2 and NOx, and time series plots for ambient air quality monitoring to show trends and exceedances.
• The Department of Environmental Affairs identified a lack of impact assessments in Eskom's application, noting that no assessment of emissions impact on human health and the environment was conducted, and that environmental impact assessments were limited to the Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) rather than the entire facility. Additionally, the report lacked modelled data featuring isopleths and the location of residential areas.
