South Africa: Thabametsi’s climate change impact assessment
According to a climate change impact assessment for the proposed Thabametsi coal-fired power station, its emissions could be 60% higher than that of Medupi and Kusile.
Last week, Earthlife Africa Johannesburg (ELA), in collaboration with the Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), submitted comments on Thabametsi’s climate change impact assessment, IT-Online reported.
Earlier this year, the North Gauteng High Court ordered the minister of environmental affairs to reconsider ELA’s appeal of Thabametsi’s environmental authorisation, with a focus on the climate change impact assessment for the power station.
