Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Minister Barbara Creecy, has given Eskom the go-ahead to exceed sulphur dioxide emission limits at the Kusile power station in a bid to alleviate South Africa's severe electricity crisis.

Eskom was granted the exemption – in terms of Section 59 of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act – in relation to a temporary solution to restore lost generation capacity at Kusile while a damaged stack undergoes repairs which are due for completion in December 2024. This will likely result in increased sulphur dioxide emissions during this period, in excess of the current applicable limit in Kusile's Atmospheric Emission License.

Creecy said she was aware of the well-documented socio-economic impacts of load shedding, which have had far-reaching socio-economic consequences for all South Africans.
