Independent power producer Globeleq has appointed interim CEO Jonathan Hoffman as its permanent Group CEO following a thorough and extensive search process that evaluated internal and external candidates. Hoffman joined Globeleq in 2010. He was appointed chief development officer in 2020 and took over as interim CEO in July 2024.
Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Minister Dr Dion George has granted Eskom air-pollution exemptions for eight power stations that would otherwise have been forced to close on April 1. He insists, however, that the exemptions do not represent a “blanket reprieve” and that they have been granted together with “rigorous conditions”. On December 10, Eskom applied for relief from the minimum emission standards (MES) for eight of its coal-fired power stations, including Duvha, Kendal, Lethabo, Majuba, Matimba, Matla, Medupi, and Tutuka.
