  • The South African Department of Environmental Affairs has placed Eskom's postponement application for the Lethabo Power Station's compliance with the 2015 Minimum Emission Standards on hold due to several missing or inadequate data points. The department requires current stack emission limits, a plan for future compliance, and a reflection of complaints and pre-directives received by the facility.
  • The Department of Environmental Affairs identified specific technical deficiencies in the application's data presentation, noting that ambient air quality monitoring graphs were not provided as time series plots and frequency plots failed to accurately represent monitoring data, obscuring trends, data gaps, and the time evolution of pollutants.
  • The application submitted by Eskom contained insufficient data to conduct a health and environmental impact assessment specifically regarding PM2.5.
