Kendal given another two months to comply with air-pollution standards

State-owned power utility Eskom reported on Friday that it had received a letter from Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Barbara Creecy granting its emissions-breaching Kendal power station another two months to comply with the country’s minimum emission standards (MES). Kendal has been battling to comply, since 2018, with the particulate-emissions component of the MES, which also sets limits for nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide.
