A letter from the South African Department of Environmental Affairs to Eskom regarding the Matimba Power Station's application for postponement of compliance with the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act 39 of 2004 minimum emission standards.

• A postponement of compliance with the minimum emission standard for new plants is granted for the period from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2025, with a limit of 3500mg/Nm3 based on the sulphur content of the fuel. The facility must achieve a limit of 500mg/Nm3 by 01 April 2025, citing the station's contribution to the SO2 pollution load in the Waterberg-Bojanala Priority Area and the fact that the station is not scheduled for decommissioning.
• No decision was made regarding NOx standards as no application was submitted; therefore, the requirement to comply with minimum emission standards for existing plants remains in effect.
