This document is a Provisional Atmospheric Emission Licence (AEL) and the accompanying decision letter issued by the Mpumalanga Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Land and Environmental Affairs to Anglo Operations (Pty) Ltd for the Khanyisa Power Plant. The licence authorizes the operation of solid fuel combustion installations for electricity generation, subject to specific emission limits, monitoring requirements, and environmental mitigation measures.

• The Mpumalanga Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Land and Environmental Affairs granted a Provisional Atmospheric Emission Licence to Anglo Operations (Pty) Ltd for the Khanyisa Power Plant. The licence was issued on 11 September 2015 and is valid for one year from the date of commissioning.
• The authorized activity at the Khanyisa Power Plant consists of solid fuel combustion installations used primarily for steam raising or electricity generation. The plant will utilize three sub-critical Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) boilers provided by ALSTOM, which will burn coal discard.
• To control emissions, the plant will implement several technologies: a limestone injection system and NID-FF (Dry Flue Gas Desulfurization) system for SO2 removal, and a Selective Non Catalytic NOx Reduction (SNCR) system to achieve a NOx limit of 200 mg/Nm3, as the site is in an air-degraded area.
• The facility is located within the Highveld Priority Area (HPA), and the licence holder is required to report operational performance bi-annually to the Licensing Authority. The conditions may be reviewed to align with Highveld Air Pollution Priority Area interventions.
• The licence mandates the installation of continuous emission monitoring equipment for particulate matter (PM), SO2, and NOx before the plant begins operating. Monitoring results for these parameters must be reported quarterly and monthly.
• The Department's decision to grant the licence was based on the applicant's submission that the activity is environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable, and that the impact on the environment would be low following the implementation of mitigation measures.
