Monday, 31 March 2025 – Eskom will now review the decision announced by the Minister for Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), Dr Dion George, on Monday 31 March 2025. The decision pertains to Eskom’s exemption application requesting revised limits for Sulphur Dioxide (SO₂) and for an extension in time to comply with Particulate Matter (PM – also known as ash) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O) limits at selected power stations.

Eskom notes that today’s decision maintains its license to operate at Medupi, Majuba, Matimba, Kendal, Lethabo, Tutuka, Matla and Duvha power stations, which contribute a total of 29 000MW to South Africa’s electricity grid and play a material role in maintaining the country’s energy security, beyond the 31 March 2025 deadline.

Eskom is committed to working with the DFFE and all stakeholders, and it will make further announcements in due course. The company remains dedicated to aligning with regulatory requirements and implementing sustainable solutions to ensure long-term operational efficiency, reducing any negative impacts on health and environmental stewardship.
