Eskom’s Biggest Power Plant Has Broken Pollution Equipment

The Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. said pollution reduction equipment at its biggest operational plant hasn’t been working properly since early last year.

The equipment, which cuts particulate emissions

at the 4,116 megawatt coal-fired Kendal power station in South Africa’s eastern province of Mpumalanga, began malfunctioning in early 2018. 

It was then damaged during a strike in July and August of that year. 

Eskom has 15 coal-fired power plants either operating or under construction.
