Summary
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 Kriel Power Station on hold due to insufficient information.
Key insights
- The Department of Environmental Affairs has placed the postponement application for compliance with the 2015 Minimum Emission Standards for the Kriel Power Station on hold. The department requires additional information to make an informed decision, noting that current stack emission limits were not supplied and there was no indication of planned future compliance.
- The Department of Environmental Affairs identified several deficiencies in the data provided in the application, specifically regarding air quality monitoring. The department noted that ambient air quality monitoring graphs lacked time series plots to show trends and exceedances, frequency plots did not accurately represent monitoring data (preventing the observation of data gaps or pollutant evolution), and there was limited data to assess the health and environmental impact of particulate matter (PMs).
