This document is a report from Eskom to the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism regarding the emissions of the Medupi Power Station for its first six months of operation, covering September 2015 to March 2016.

• The report provides total monthly tonnages for pollutants including particulates (PM10), SOx, NOx, and CO2 from September 2015 to March 2016. For example, in September 2015, emissions were 131.75 tons of PM, 3091.10 tons of SOx, and 410.30 tons of NOx.
• Emissions calculations for Medupi relied on several assumptions: NOx emissions were based on the Matimba Power Station's emission factor, SOx emissions used the factor for Medupi type mills, and CO2 emissions were based on ultimate coal analysis results excluding carbon in ash. PM emissions were based on actual measurements.
• An internal air quality gap assessment conducted on September 8, 2015, resulted in one remaining open finding regarding the need for CO2 monitoring at the smoke stack. Eskom anticipated that an in-stack monitor would be installed by the end of June 2016.
• Particulate emissions exceeded allowable limits on September 22, 2015, and March 16, 2016. These events were reported to the DEA as NEMA Section 30 Emergency incidents, leading to an action plan where damaged bags were replaced.
