Environment Minister Turns the Screws on Eskom, Sasol

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Environment minister says Eskom & Sasol must comply with emissions limits (1,000 milligrams of sulfur dioxide per normal cubic meter) even if it costs them billions
  • Eskom estimates cost of installing FGD units at a single plant (Medupi) at R42bn and has 15 coal-powered plants in total
  • This is completely unaffordable with Eskom's debt pile continuing to escalate (now ~R464bn)
