This document is a response from Eskom to a request for information by the Centre for Environmental Rights. It reveals that Eskom does not have standalone decommissioning or emission reduction plans for its coal stations, but instead manages these through broader air quality strategies. A 2010 strategy included in the text outlines a prioritised approach to meeting Minimum Emission Standards, highlighting significant constraints such as water scarcity in the Highveld and the high cost of retrofits (estimated at R28 billion CAPEX in 2009 terms), while suggesting 'offset projects' as a cheaper alternative to technical upgrades.
