The utility says it has implemented new safety measures to protect communities near and around Kusile Power Plant.
While Eskom was granted permission to ignore minimum emissions standards, it’s still working hard to bring Kusile Power Plant’s Flue Gas Desulphurisation plants back online.
By December repairs to Kusile Power Station’s Flue Gas Desulphurisation plant should be complete. This is according to Eskom which provided an update to these repairs on Tuesday morning. However, while those repairs are happening, Kusile is pumping tons of pollutants into the air. To that end, Eskom has had to implement safety measures to ensure local residents aren’t adversely harmed by Kusile’s emissions.
We sincerely hope that Eskom is taking this matter seriously as South Africa has a history of leaving those who are exposed to dangerous conditions that affect their health to fend for themselves.
