A response letter from Eskom to the Centre for Environmental Rights regarding a request for information under the Promotion of Access to Information Act, 2000. Eskom agrees to provide various records related to air quality strategies and board submissions, while noting that specific separate documents for emission reduction plans and decommissioning schedules for its coal-fired power stations do not exist.

• Eskom states that it does not possess separate documents for decommissioning plans, compliance roadmaps, or emission reduction plans for its 15 coal-fired power stations. Instead, these matters are addressed in the 2014 application for postponement of minimum emissions standards, the Eskom Air Quality Strategy (2015), and the Air Quality Improvement Plan (2016).
• Eskom has granted access to a series of board and subcommittee submissions and minutes dating from 2010 to 2016 concerning environmental performance and air quality compliance. However, some records were partially granted, with sections removed that dealt with issues beyond air quality or specific mandates for negotiations under PAIA section 44.
• Specific redactions were made to documents for commercial sensitivity and advocacy reasons. For example, information regarding Majuba bag damage costs and references to Kendal unit 3 and 4 production risks were severed under PAIA 423 (b) due to commercial sensitivity, and advocacy approach details were severed under PAIA 44 (1) b.
