COAL-FIRED POWER STATION AND ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE - IPP WATERBERG (THABAMETSI) POWER STATION NEAR LEPHALALE (DEA Ref No: 14/12/16/3/3/40) LIMPOPO PROVINCE CLIMATE CHANGE STUDY AND PALAEONTOLOGICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT: SUMMARY REPORT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW
This summary report, prepared by Savannah Environmental (Pty) Ltd for Thabametsi Power Company Proprietary Limited, details the climate change and palaeontological impact assessments for the proposed 1200MW Thabametsi coal-fired power station near Lephalale, Limpopo Province. The report was produced to satisfy conditions 10.5 and 10.6 of the project's Environmental Authorization following an appeal by the Centre for Environmental Rights. It evaluates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate resilience risks, and potential impacts on fossil heritage, concluding that while GHG impacts are high, they are not a fatal flaw given South Africa's energy policy framework.
