Busa welcomes Eskom’s Kusile emissions exemption

Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Minister Barbara Creecy’s decision to allow Eskom to operate its Kusile power station without the use of flue gas desulphurisation signals “urgency in a time of crisis” and is a welcome decision in the context of South Africa’s electricity crisis, says Business Unity South Africa (Busa). The organisation notes that the continued integrity of the electricity system depends on the Medupi and Kusile power stations being operational.
