Eskom to engage on way forward after being denied permission to delay air-quality compliance

Eskom says the decision by government to refuse several applications for the postponement of the implementation of some of the air quality compliance timelines set in legislation will result in the immediate shutting of 16 000 MW of capacity and have a “very significant impact on Eskom’s ability to provide electricity”. It is, thus, proposing an engagement with stakeholders on the “way forward”.
