The Grootvlei Power Station Annual Emissions Report for the 2016/17 financial year, submitted by Eskom to the Chief Air Quality Licensing Officer, details the station's pollutant emissions, the progress of a particulate matter reduction project, and compliance with atmospheric licenses.

• For the 2016/17 financial year, the total annual emissions for Grootvlei Power Station were 5,743,113 tons of CO2, 39,112 tons of SO2, 19,395 tons of NOx, 4,797.99 tons of PM, and 94.164 tons of N2O.
• The station is implementing a Fabric Filter Bag (FFP) retrofit project to replace Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) to reduce particulate matter (PM) emissions. Unit 3 was completed in September 2016, Unit 2 is completed but awaiting commissioning, and Unit 4 is expected to be completed in September 2017.
• Emission limit exceedances occurred during the 2016/17 financial year, which the report attributes to the design limitations of the Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP).
• Continuous Emissions Monitors (CEMS) availability varied by stack and parameter: PM availability was 99% for both North and South stacks, while SO2 and NOx availability was 65% for the North stack and 100% for the South stack.
• The station is implementing the Highveld Priority Area action plan through fugitive dust monitoring and suppression. An offset project plan has been submitted to GSDM and is expected to be implemented at Grootvlei in 2019.
