SUPPLEMENTARY OBJECTIONS TO THE WATER USE LICENCE APPLICATION AND INTEGRATED WATER AND WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE PROPOSED THABAMETSI INDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCER COAL-FIRED POWER STATION
The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), on behalf of Earthlife Africa Johannesburg and groundWork, submitted supplementary objections on 5 March 2018 against the Water Use Licence Application (IWULA) and Integrated Water and Waste Water Management Plan (IWWMP) for the proposed Thabametsi coal-fired power station. The objections argue that the project is unnecessary due to excess electricity capacity, poses severe risks to the water-stressed Mokolo Catchment, and fails to account for climate change impacts and toxic coal ash disposal risks.
