COMMENTS ON THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION DOCUMENT FOR ESKOM’S APPLICATION FOR ALTERNATIVE LIMITS TO THE MINIMUM EMISSION STANDARDS (MES) FOR THE MEDUPI AND MATIMBA POWER STATIONS
The Life After Coal campaign, comprising the Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), groundWork, and Earthlife Africa Johannesburg, submitted formal objections on 29 January 2020 to Eskom's applications for alternative emission limits at the Medupi and Matimba power stations. The campaign argues that the applications are procedurally and substantively unlawful, violate the South African Constitution and environmental laws, and rely on a flawed air quality modelling approach in a priority area already suffering from poor air quality.
