A letter from Eskom to the Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (DEDET) providing reliability calculations for particulate matter (PM) and gaseous monitors at Arnot Power Station for the period of 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016.

The report finds that South Africa's energy fiscal policies are largely misaligned with its climate goals, with fossil fuel subsidies totaling ZAR 172 billion in FY 2020/21. These subsidies, particularly Eskom bailouts and carbon tax exemptions, outweigh the ZAR 100.5 billion in fossil fuel revenues. The social costs of fossil fuel combustion—estimated at a minimum of ZAR 550 billion annually—far exceed both revenues and subsidies. While the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) has successfully lowered renewable energy costs, investment has been hindered by political opposition and Eskom's financial instability. The report recommends tying bailouts to transition reforms, phasing out carbon tax exemptions, and using fossil fuel tax revenues to support vulnerable households and a just transition.

This audit report, dated 17 February 2016 and compiled by Leroy Construction and Projects for Eskom Komati Power Station, evaluates compliance with the station's Atmospheric Emissions License (AEL) issued under Section 43 of the National Environmental Management Air Quality Act, 2004. The audit found a 91% compliance rate, with 41 of 45 conditions met, though it identified four specific areas of non-compliance.

This document is an annual emissions report for the Matimba Power Station, submitted by Eskom to the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism.

This document is an excerpt from Eskom's Air Quality Improvement Plan, detailing the strategy to reduce particulate and gaseous emissions from its power stations. It outlines a phased and prioritised approach to compliance with Minimum Emission Standards (MES), focusing on retrofitting the highest emitting and newest stations first. The plan identifies critical constraints including funding, water availability on the Highveld, and skilled human resources, while proposing air quality offsets in vulnerable communities to mitigate local pollution.

This document is an Atmospheric Emissions Licence (AEL) issued by the Fezile Dabi District Municipality to Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd for the Lethabo Power Station. Issued on 1 April 2015 and valid until 31 March 2020, the licence regulates emissions from solid fuel combustion and the storage of petroleum products, specifying minimum emission standards for pollutants and reporting requirements within the Vaal Triangle Airshed Priority Area.

The City of Cape Town (CCT) is developing a 7MW ground-mounted solar PV plant in Atlantis, marking the first utility-scale renewable energy project in South Africa owned and operated by a metropolitan municipality. Initiated in 2021 following a regulatory shift in the Electricity Regulation Act, the project aims to reduce reliance on Eskom and improve energy security. The CCT utilised a Corporate Project, Programme, and Portfolio Management (CPPPM) framework and an Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) contracting strategy via an NEC4 DBO contract to mitigate risks, including unexpected groundwater issues and global solar panel price shocks. The plant, which includes a 5MW/10MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), is expected to be completed by April 2026, avoiding 12,524 tonnes of CO2e emissions per annum and providing significant cost savings compared to Eskom tariffs.
