South Africa's Eskom wins appeal to keep five coal power plants operational until 2030.
South Africa's Eskom, the state-owned power utility and largest polluter, has won an appeal to keep five of its oldest, highly-polluting coal power plants operational until 2030. The plants will operate under existing emission limits, exempting them from stricter pollution restrictions due in 2025. The decision balances energy supply needs with public health concerns, as Eskom must submit plans within a year on how and when to decommission these plants.
