ABSA GROUP LIMITED’S ROLE IN FINANCING PROPOSED NEW COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS
The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), writing on behalf of the Life After Coal Campaign, urges ABSA Group Limited to withdraw financial support for the proposed Thabametsi and Khanyisa coal-fired power stations. The CER argues that these projects are not 'procured', face significant legal challenges, and contradict the 'least cost' options identified in the 2018 draft Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). The document highlights severe health risks for residents in the Waterberg-Bojanala and Highveld Priority Areas, high greenhouse gas emission intensities, and the potential for these projects to cost South Africa nearly R20 billion more than necessary.
