Environmental group, the Green Connection, has welcomed a decision by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) to reject an application for an environmental impact assessment proposed for a Karpowership project in Saldanha Bay.

The assessment is one of three applications for the Karpowership projects to generate electricity by drilling into the ocean to extract natural gas.

Strategic Lead for the Green Connection, Liz McDaid says, “We are confident that the investigation will reveal that there was a misrepresentation. We are hopeful that we can put the Karpower episode behind us and that we can now focus on bringing affordable, appropriate energy onto the grid to address the load shedding issue.”

ENERGY CRISIS: Three Karpowership EIA applications refused, withdrawn or suspended halting company’s gas-to-electricity plans in SAThe Turkish-owned Karpowership fleet has been ‘struck’ by three potentially devastating ‘torpedo explosions’ after officials in Barbara Creecy’s national Department of Environmental Affairs suspended the approvals process or refused to authorise all three of the company’s gas-to-electricity proposals. TRIPLO4 (the environmental consultant) has plenty of egg on its face (even before the SIP thingie is addressed). As for proving the rationality of this transaction in an inevitable court-case... nahhh, it will make the EIA process look like a minor inconvenience leona_kleynhans Some good news from BarbaraCreecy_ and her department.
